I'm going to expand a bit before suggesting why it might not fit in the article. Encyclopedic is more often than not, used to to describe something rather than a thing itself. What you may be thinking of with <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:MOS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:MOS">WP:MOS</a> is an/the encyclopedic <i>style</i>. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://chronicle.com/article/Whatever-Happened-to/8853/">McHenry</a> talks about it this way, although its not really common. It is more usually to talk about encyclopedic projects, encyclopedic texts, or encyclopedic novels. In the first case there are things like Otlet's <a href="/wiki/Mundaneum" title="Mundaneum">Mundaneum</a>, Well's <a href="/wiki/World_Brain" title="World Brain">World Brain</a>, or Bush's <a href="/wiki/Memex" title="Memex">Memex</a> machine; all things kind of like encyclopedias but don't fit the typical expectation, usually because of the technology they use. The second case is often used by historians who don't want to be anachronistic. There were no books understood by their authors as "encyclopedia" before the 15th/16th century. As a work around, contemporary historians call books that are kind of like encyclopedias, but were not thought of as such at the time, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.ca/books?id=frsePRaTgyUC&printsec=frontcover&dq=encyclopedic+text&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj4mpKS0OXYAhVSz2MKHYkOC8EQ6AEITTAH#v=onepage&q=encyclopedic%20text&f=false">encyclopedic texts</a>. This has also been used to describe the <a href="/wiki/Bible" title="Bible">Bible</a> and other spiritual texts. And then there are <a href="/wiki/Encyclopedic_novel" title="Encyclopedic novel">encyclopedic novels</a> that are written with a kind of maximalism (opposite of minimalism) that try to convey the aesthetic of the encyclopedic. <a href="/wiki/The_Library_of_Babel" title="The Library of Babel">The Library of Babel</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ulysses_(novel)" title="Ulysses (novel)">Ulysses (novel)</a>, <a href="/wiki/Don_Quixote" title="Don Quixote">Don Quixote</a>, <a href="/wiki/Infinite_Jest" title="Infinite Jest">Infinite Jest</a> are all examples of this.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>So there's a lot there about <a href="/wiki/Encyclopedic" class="mw-redirect" title="Encyclopedic">encyclopedic</a> but based on the variety of cases of how the term is used, I don't think it fits in this article because it exceeds meaning "an encyclopedia". Could it be its own article that is briefly mentioned in this one?

We all know Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. While every 11 January Wikipedia adds up one more year to it's age, encyclopedias and Compendiums too add up a year more to their much longer history. </p><p>When did you last visited wikipedia articles <a href="/wiki/Encyclopedia" title="Encyclopedia">Encyclopedia</a> <a href="/wiki/Compendium" title="Compendium">Compendium</a> and <a href="/wiki/History_of_encyclopedias" title="History of encyclopedias">History of encyclopedias</a>? What is their status ? When I visited those the last two are tagged for lack citations. In <a href="/wiki/Encyclopedia#Characteristics" title="Encyclopedia">Encyclopedia#Characteristics</a> section too almost six paragraphs are missing in citations. </p> <dl><dd>1) After reading all three articles on Wikipedia as a reader I do not get information what a reader of an encyclopedia is supposed to expect from encyclopedia or readers part many commercial encyclopedias might have done marketing putting those points forward so can one find any such information in any source? (I am not expecting discourses of Wikipedians but discourses of Non Wikipedian intellectuals or marketeers of traditional encyclopedias.</dd> <dd>2) Another missing point is how an encyclopedic entry needs to be written features tools challenges etc. again not Wikipedian point of views but editorial or intellectual discourses of traditional encyclopedias writers or editors.</dd> <dd>3) How an ideal <a href="/wiki/Compendium" title="Compendium">Compendium</a> and <a href="/wiki/Encyclopedia" title="Encyclopedia">Encyclopedia</a> content quality is supposed to look like (beyond it's alphabetical etc organizational aspects) again not Wikipedian point of views but editorial or intellectual discourses of traditional encyclopedias writers or editors with critique of some <a href="/wiki/Compendium" title="Compendium">Compendium</a> and <a href="/wiki/Encyclopedia" title="Encyclopedia">Encyclopedia</a>.</dd> <dd>4) Is there any (Non Wikipedia) source that would say or suggest <a href="/wiki/Compendium" title="Compendium">Compendium</a> and <a href="/wiki/Encyclopedia" title="Encyclopedia">Encyclopedia</a> as <b> 'up to date' state of information / knowledge</b> ?</dd></dl> <p><br> Actually one anon IP helped with a list of sources too on <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Humanities/2020_November_5" title="Wikipedia:Reference desk/Archives/Humanities/2020 November 5">Wikipedia:Reference desk/Humanities</a>.

It is not to be confused with <a href="/wiki/CD-ROM_encyclopedia" class="mw-redirect" title="CD-ROM encyclopedia">CD-ROM encyclopedia</a>.</p></blockquote> This confusion is because every encyclopedia is in digital form. It's just that some encyclopedias are printed and others are made available online, and many printed encyclopedias are also available in digital form either online or in CD-ROM format. It's certainly confusing to have <a href="/wiki/CD-ROM_encyclopedia" class="mw-redirect" title="CD-ROM encyclopedia">CD-ROM encyclopedia</a> and <a href="/wiki/Online_encyclopedia" title="Online encyclopedia">Online encyclopedia</a> as a separate articles and yet redirect <a href="/wiki/Digital_encyclopedia" class="mw-redirect" title="Digital encyclopedia">Digital encyclopedia</a> to the main <a href="/wiki/Encylopedia" class="mw-redirect" title="Encylopedia">Encylopedia</a> article. I don't see a clean way to split these topics apart frankly. I think the topics should be merged. Whether an encyclopedia is available online or in a CD-ROM format is a question of distribution and access. It doesn't make the dictionary fundamentally a different kind of encyclopedia. For example, Britannica is now exclusively available online, but it used to be available exclusively in print, and later in multiple formats. It's not fundamentally a different kind of encyclopedia.

Many people who grew up with Wikipedia and other largely digital, online encyclopedias (e.g. subject/field specific encyclopedias), including myself, are less familiar with print encyclopedia. It may be important to at least link the article for online encyclopedia to the online encyclopedia section to provide a reference to this body of knowledge. <a href="/wiki/User:Coastside" title="User:Coastside">Coastside</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Coastside" title="User talk:Coastside">talk</a> <b>·</b> <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Coastside" title="Special:Contributions/Coastside">contribs</a>) mentions aspects of the liminal nature of the encyclopedia as well that speak to this public understanding. I do think it's important to keep them intertwined to afford a comprehensive knowledge of the the history of the development of the encyclopedia (in line with improving public understanding of the sum knowledge of the encyclopedia). I am not necessarily 'opposing' or 'supporting,' but I think understanding public perception is vital here. <a href="/wiki/User:Breadyornot" title="User:Breadyornot">Breadyornot</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Breadyornot" title="User talk:Breadyornot">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Encyclopedia#c-Breadyornot-2022-01-25T22:08:00.000Z-Hemiauchenia-2021-08-08T12:57:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:08, 25 January 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Breadyornot-2022-01-25T22:08:00.000Z-Hemiauchenia-2021-08-08T12:57:00.000Z"><span id="ooui-php-38" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-iconElement oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui='{"_":"OO.ui.ButtonWidget","rel":["nofollow"],"framed":false,"icon":"share","label":"Reply","flags":["progressive"],"classes":["ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton"]}'><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-icon-share oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Breadyornot-2022-01-25T22:08:00.000Z-Hemiauchenia-2021-08-08T12:57:00.000Z"></span></li></ul> <div style="padding-left: 1.6em; font-style: italic; border-top: 1px solid #a2a9b1; margin: 0.5em 0; padding-top: 0.5em">The discussion above is closed. <b style="color: var(--color-error, red);">Please do not modify it.</b> Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.
