Wikimpeding

The act of looking up a Wikipedia article either aimlessly or for a specific purpose (academia, research, etc.), and subsequently becoming engrossed in random articles ensuing from one's clicking of new links in each article that somehow sparked their interest; thus impeding your original efforts or simply prolonging them unnecessarily. Will often result in entire afternoons or evenings wasted, which were originally intended to be spent studying or doing something more productive- although one may have learned a few cool things in the process.

It can probably be attributed to Wikipedia's simplicity, vast information archives, and aesthetic value.

Wikignosis

A wikignosis is a diagnosis of a medical condition made with the assistance of Wikipedia.

e.g.

"People have always commented on the corpse-like temperature of my hands. I was finally able to make a wikignosis after I read this (see results of Wikipediasearch). Screw you, Medicare!"

Wikipedia Tang

Wikiepedia Tang (Cecilia Tang) is the vice principle of La Salle Trollege. She is one of those aggressive feminist who comes from Diocesan Girls School. She teaches f2-f3 history , everyone died from her tests and exam paper even though she gave students the history syllabus. As the exam paper would most likely originate from Wikipedia, we would eventually die lmao.
