wikigroan

Something you do when you compare two Wikipedia articles for length and depth of content. The articles should be related in some way, while one is only of use to a fraction of the population.

I was reading the Wikipedia article for the Civil War, and the article for Star Wars, and then I wikigroaned.

wikiganda 

A portmanteau of Wikipedia and propaganda, wikiganda is what issues from the O’Sullivan’s Law-subsumed online encyclopedia that ostensibly "anyone can edit", but which in practice is a thought-policed lie-factory peddling establishment narratives.

"When a CNN or a FOX News bimbette reads some bullshit off her teleprompter, you don't buy it for a second, because yer smart, right? But when the same thing is written in Wikipedia with CNN or FOX as the 'reliable source', your dumb brain will eat it up with a spoon. And the garbage will sit there for years, waiting patiently like poison in an unlabeled container. That's the power of wikiganda."

Wikigroaning

A game where two similarly named or themed Wikipedia articles are compared for length - one serious, and one more popular culture-oriented. Generally, the pop-culture article will win, due to its more rabid audience.

wikigrazing

The practice of grazing through the website Wikipedia, having drifted away from the article you were originally reading. Leads to people developing an in-depth knowledge of obscure subjects, and can go unchecked for hours. It often stems from hitting the "Random Article" link on the nav bar

"Ah shit! I was supposed to pick up Timmy from Boy Scouts, but I was wikigrazing! Oh well, at least I'll be able to tell him about Heinkel jet engines....."

wikitrance 

a trance-like state in which one goes from a page brought up on wikipedia or sites that are similar and goes from one hyperlink to another and another...until realizing that he/she has wasted a substantial amount of time and has gone completely off task.

hey bro, i was doing research for my history project on the Cuban Missile Crisis on wikipedia and went into a total wikitrance: I look up at my computer clock, it's been an hour since I started, and I'm reading about Paris Hilton's sex tape!

Wikigraffiti 

The act of desecrating a wikipedia page with false information, thereby fucking over anybody who decides to use information from that page within the near future. In rare instances, Wikigraffiti can go unnoticed for weeks or months at a time. This act can be quite fun, and there are games based on it as well.

Noun - When in an instance when you need to prove someone wrong, just pull some Wikigraffiti and you'll be safe.

Verb - It is pretty typical of people to Wikigraffiti the "George Washington" page on Wikipedia.

Wayne - "Hey, for homework our History Professor told us to get on wikipedia and mess with all of the definitions just to show how unreliable it is!"

Garth - "Sweet. Let's Wikigraffiti that shit up."

Wayne - "Haha, 'The Battle of The Bulge' is now defined as an era in the 80's when Hair Metal bands would try to stuff their pants the fullest in the crotch region, then gloat about it!"

Garth - "Shwinngg!"
