Catch the Wiki

A very hard game played on Wikipedia. It can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or two. First, click on the "Random Article" button. Now remember what that article was. Click the "Random Article" button again. Now you have to keep clicking links that are hyperlinked until you get back to your original topic. RULES: You can't use the searchbar(obviously), you can only go to links via the hyperlinked words, and you can't go back.

Joe got bored when writing a science essay, so he decided to play Catch the Wiki.

The Wikipedias

Feeling like a baller after schooling everyone at the party on a subject you looked up on Wikipedia 5 minutes earlier.

Look at that pompous arse, he has the Wikipedias.

The Wikipedia Effect

A high degree of accuracy in a generally editable information system (like Wikipedia) which is derived from the law of large numbers: while some inaccuracies may be occasionally saved into the system, the number of edits per hour with accurate information makes the system "self-healing." Thus, over time these social information systems tend to be statistically more accurate than similar systems published by a closed source, such as a small number of editors.

While Bob's Game Maps are pretty good, the GameMap Wiki tends to have better, more timely information. Because of the Wikipedia Effect, the GameMap Wiki gets new updates to game worlds near real-time, whereas Bob takes several weeks to get his updates done.

The Wikipedia Game

A fun game you can challenge others or yourself to: start at any page you want, and try to get to another page only using direct clicking! And you can't press the back button.

When I played the Wikipedia Game I was able to get from World War II to Doughnut by clicking USA => Cuisine of the United States => Dessert => Breakfast => Doughnut. Only 5 clicks!

Consult the Wiki

The literal action of consulting wikia, on lack of knowledge or solution from a gaming source. Mostly said when a lore is involved in a video game, and the person reading such lore is confused. The person then 'Consults the Wiki' the game developers, or the player basis of that game has provided.

Game: The Dwarven Empire once sat along the coast of Torgona.
Player: "What's Torgona...? I must Consult the Wiki on the matter."
