Reason for creation

edit

I was inspired by this video here, which has some excellent stories of strange edits to wikipedia, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twHFPMoJNXE, and I have also heard the term "Wikipedia Cryptid" or more broadly "[site] cryptid" being thrown around more casually to refer to people like this, but I had a hard time finding any pages on the site that actually refer to this term or collect these stories, and I thought it would be fitting for the site to keep track of these cases itself. There may be some overlap with existing articles here, particularly if my search was insufficiently thorough, (this could possibly be fixable by adding a simple redirect page), and what constitutes a valid entry to this list is fairly subjective, but I figured for a somewhat humorous page that shouldn't be too bad. At worst this page serves as practice for myself in writing articles for the site. AuroralAria (talk) 10:48, 28 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
