wikitrail

A (usually long) series of wikipedia articles, in which the first article begins the trail and other articles are read by clicking on embedded links in the first or succeeding articles. Trails are followed until the reader's natural curiosity is satisfied, until the reader has run out of time, or until the reader has passed out unconscious.

Some wikitrails become so addictive that the reader obsessively finds him- or herself obsessively clicking on link after link, even though it is well past the reader's bedtime and there will inevitably be hell to pay for this tomorrow. These types of wikitrails are also called wikiholes.

I followed this interesting wikitrail on the languages of Spain and somehow ended up in the French Pyrenees!

wikirape

When you and a friend are in an argument where you both completely think you are right, and you use information from Wikipedia to prove your friend wrong.

Dylan: Dude, Jeffree Star was never part of Hollywood Undead.

Kody: He definitely was.

Dylan: Wanna bet?

(Dylan looks up info on wikipedia.)

Dylan: See, I told you, says so right here. Wikiraped!

wikitrash

Someone who removes, destroys or otherwise undermines true and well-meaning content on a Wiki (often Wikipedia) by means of rules and regulations.

I put up the picture of the tactical fighter dropping the bombs on the embassy, but some wikitrash put ten tags on it and removed it because there was a tiny Mickey Mouse toy in the right corner.

wikitrip

The trail taken when one clicks on several links on Wikipedia to end somewhere incredibly different than where they started.

She doesn't even remember how she got to a page on shrunken heads or where she started from, but it was an interesting wikitrip.
