Dickipedia

Dickipedia – A Wiki of Dicks was a parody collection of satirical biographies "about people who are dicks". It is self-described as "a monolingual (English), Web-based, free content encyclopedia project, …[which] does not contain information about people who are detectives".[3][4]

The first entry was Mitch McConnell.[5] Bikram Choudhury was also featured.[6]
