Wikipedia Waterslide

When you're looking up something on Wikipedia, but while reading about it, you encounter several other concepts you are not familiar with. Naive internet users will proceed to also look up those concepts on Wikipedia (said concepts are usually written as links when mentioned in the text, and therefore intrigue readers enough to click on them). They, in turn, lead to other Wikipedia pages, and before you know it, you've gone from reading about string theory, to studying dinosaur erotica in incognito mode.
Careful when reading about stuff in Wikipedia, kids, or else you may end up falling down a Wikipedia Waterslide.

wikipediatrician

A wikipediatrician is someone who thinks the decisions they make are the best for their child, without doing any substantial research on the given issue.

It combines the words Wikipedia and pediatrician, the pediatrician part mockingly implies an expertise in children.

The wikipedia part implies the scarce amount of actual research they did on the subjects they claim to know a lot about, also implying the reliability of the sources used (if any are used).
