[edit] Carnalpedia compared to Wikipedia

Wikipedia is the world's largest encyclopedia, and both Carnalpedia and Wikipedia are created using MediaWiki software. The primary difference between the two is that Wikipedia is a general all-age reference, while Carnalpedia is geared towards an adult audience and focuses on sex. While some collisions exisit between the two encyclopedias, the majority of the content on one site may be considered inappropriate for the other, and vice-versa.

Carnalpedia uses many of the same default styles and settings of MediaWiki as employed by Wikipedia to help users familiar with Wikipedia to easily edit and add content to Carnalpedia.
