When somebody goes onto Wikipedia to find a specific piece of information and, usually via wikilinks, ends up going off track and going through a bunch of unrelated articles. This can be common among students who have a low attention span or other focus issues.
Person: Hey dude, Imma go onto Wikipedia to find when the Soviet Union collapsed.
Dude: OK, just don't lose track of time.

Person: How am I on an article about racism in Australia?!
Dude: Wikipedia Hypnosis, I presume? You've gotta work on your focus, man.

Get the Wikipedia Hypnosis mug.An individual who utilises their knowledge of Wikipedia's rules and policies in a strictly-defined fashion to bully, harass, or override less-knowledgeable contributors with zero consultation, frequently deleting their in-good-faith efforts to improve wikipedia, in direct contravention of the spirit and often the letter of wikipedia.
I spent some weeks creating a well-researched highly-technical wikipedia entry that was missing, and was just in the process of linking it to well-known pages and was adding references that would help make it "Notable", when some Wikifascist deleted with zero notice or discussion

Get the Wikifascist mug.By the people, but not necessarily for the people. Attempts to define and explain everything, ideally without writing a book on every topic.
Has the same issues as any other democracy or a place, with group majorities - tribalism and its cultural influence: A place were simps, feminists, bitches, are making their tribal biases/opinions 'scientific', while linking what is pretty much their own blog's shitposts for sources; and nerds are trying to make their hobby/area of expertise articles as unreadable as possible for a commoner.
Has a tendency of throwing you into a rabbit whole of information, when you've already forgotten your initial question and have ended up reading articles on ancient Chinese schools of thought for no reason.

I disagree with that wikipedia article, so I've edited the definition to be a more 'objective representation of reality'. Also I'm undoing all the edits that disagree with me, my majority will prevail!
