LyricWiki (also known as Lyrically or LyricWikia) was an online wiki-based lyrics database and encyclopedia.[2] In March 2013, it was the seventh largest MediaWiki installation[3] with over 2,000,000 pages including 1.5 million songs.[4] Prior to its shutdown, users on the site could view, edit, and discuss the lyrics of songs, which were also available for purchase from links on the site.[5] Users were told to be mindful of copyright while contributing,[6] and copyright violations were removed upon request.[7] All the lyrics on LyricWiki were licensed through LyricFind.[8]
