A cyber disease in which a Wikipedia surfer tries to avoid Wikarpal Tunnel Syndrome by "ctrl-clicking" the blue reference links which appear as tabs within their browser, and inadvertently creates too many tabs. Symptoms include complete confusion and the reading of information with the mistaken understanding as to what topic the information pertains to.
I opened so many tabs the other day that I almost crashed my browser. I must suffer from a bad case of Wikipeditis.

To use Wikipedia articles, with either no or very few changes, in an attempt to submit it as a college or high school paper. Some teachers will catch it and destroy your academic standing and some teachers have no clue and will commend you for your excellent work.
These articles are often filled with blatant lies that we never notice because we do not read them in full.

"My options were nap or write my paper. I napped. Now I have to wikipedal the entire thing."
"I pray to God my teacher doesn't catch me wikipedalling. If she knew I wikipedalled I would be in serious trouble."

A "know-it-all" or "Cliff Clavin". Someone who considers themselves to be an expert on everything. A human storehouse of useless trivia, often of dubious veracity.
"That guy is so wikipedic...full of useless information and he never shuts up!"
"Why did I bring that up in front of so-and-so? I thought I'd never hear the end of it from Mrs. Wikipedic."
