Autobibliography

this is a short Wikipedia article all about the autobibliography:

Description and reasoning

An autobibliography is a bibliography that references itself. The Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobibliography is the first known official autobibliography. An autobibliography also must talk about itself in the third person. The reason for this is because in an autobiography the writer references them self in the third person and an autobibliography and an autobiography follow almost the same rules. The Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobibliography follows those rules but isn't only an autobibliography. As long as a paper has only one reference (itself) and only talks about itself and any information in it, then it may contain an autobibliography. For example, if a normal autobiography references itself then it is an autobiography that contains an autobibliography. There is no real reasoning to have an autobibliography except for added effect and to have the article credited slightly more. An autobibliography is not meant as a joke, rather a philosophical idea.

history and first appearances

The autobibliography was first theorized on Friday the 21st of February 2020 at 11:40 am by BringTheFlavor who is a small account on various apps including videogames and social media. The original idea was a self-referencing article that only referenced itself. He shared it with his friends who thought it was clever but insignificant. While he thought others would find it interesting, BringTheFlavor immediately thought of making a Wikipedia article about it as a contribution to modern internet philosophy and some content he could use for social media. The Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobibliography was released on may 1st of 2020 but was declined on the 2nd of may. The second attempt was on the 2nd of may 2020 being the first autobibliography to ever exist.
