The Real Life Villains Wiki was a wiki dedicated to crimes and criminals in the real-life world, such as corrupt officials, terrorists, serial killers, mob bosses and dictators. It was originally founded on Fandom sometime around 2012, before moving to Miraheze after late June 2020 due to the wiki violating Fandom's terms of service. On January 2023, the wiki was closed on Miraheze due to violations of the content policy. Its sister wiki, the Real Life Heroes Wiki, is still active and mainly focuses on people who fought against authoritarianism, the Axis, and several other evil deeds, and fought for democracy, human rights, poverty elimination and other good deeds. The wikis however were met with criticism for different reasons thanks to their biased moderation and point-of-view.

Why They're Villains Themselves (no pun intended)

Overall

Prehaps the biggest problem with these wikis is that these wikis are both written from a biased right-wing neoconservative view instead of a centrist point of view, which ultimately led to the wiki's rise in drama and controversy.
- For example, Chiang Kai-shek, Sukarno (despite Sukarno helped his country Indonesia gain its independence) and Josep Broz Tito all have pages on the wiki, but only Chiang Kai-shek is qualified to have a page on the Real-Life Heroes Wiki. Thankfully, Shek's page was deleted on September 18, 2023 after agreement with the wiki's admins on Discord.

Real Life Villains Wiki

The wiki's title, Real-Life Villains Wiki, Is abysmal and doesn't seem to make any sense at all. No person is born evil, and villains are evil-doers in fictional media.
- Speaking of which, George Washington, although was a hero himself, is disqualified to have a page on the Real Life Villains Wiki despite once owning slaves in his lifetime.
- Ronald Reagan was even exempt from being put on the wiki, who is widely considered to be a controversial and dangerous figure in American politics similarly to Richard Nixon and Donald Trump, which examples of his administration committing not-so-heroic things such as invading Grenada, and supporting dictators across the planet, such as that of Ferdinand Marcos, Suharto's, apartheid South Africa, and several Latin American dictatorships. He even supported the apartheid government of South Africa, and being responsible for causing corporate greed, a worsening wealth gap, and a heavy rise in the debt in his country.
Some articles on the wiki were pretty ugly and nitpicky, and contained biased information.
- For example, Suharto's page used to have the "Redeemed" category in his page prior to the wiki's closure, despite barely regretted after having committed tons of worse crimes than Sukarno himself.^[1]
Some of categories are filler, bad and nonsensical, such as "Anti-Catholics", despite they were also Christian (which also should be merged to xenophobes).
- The crimes listed on infoboxes also suffered same thing, which when person who hated specific nations, instead of leaving them off with "Xenophobes", they go on to slap off with each nations.
Some articles on the wiki even had gore and other shock images in them, which violated Miraheze's policies, despite what the wiki says about users to follow Miraheze's rules.
- Perhaps the worst offender of this was the page of Luka Magnotta, which featured photos of his victim Jun Lin, which includes, we kid you not, a brutal close-up of Lin's severed head, along with his naked, dismembered body with his head and leg cut off. Special mention goes to his infamous "1 boy, 2 kittens" videos as well.
- The World War II and 9/11 articles were even worse, especially the Holocaust article, mainly for the same reason.
Some time after the wiki was shut down on Miraheze, a recreation of the wiki, named History Villains Wiki, was created sometime later. Thankfully, it got shut down on August 2023.^[2]
