I suppose it's possible, although I'm really not sure. I joined the project after this article was written and my familiarity with Red Dwarf barely extends beyond being aware that a show of that name exists.
In the earliest days of the project (which this definitely dates from), a number of articles were created that were homages to or inspired by other SF franchises or settings (can you find the others? ). This could have been one of them.
I'm not aware of any articles that were ever created with the deliberate intent to parody another setting. The closest we've ever come to that is the Glarion - The Glorious Conqueror article which is at least partly intended as a parody of the 'Humans Are Superior' trope.
