Get the wikigrind mug.A game you play on wikipedia.org when you're exceptionally bored. It has two variants:
1. Start on any topic, scroll a bit, and click on the first hyperlink you see. Either repeat for a certain amount of time (say 10 or 15 minutes, but can be more or less) or for a certain number of clicks (usually in the 20-click range but can be more or less) and see where you end up.
2. Start on any topic and try to get to any other topic (called the destination) in under a certain amount of clicks (7 is good to start). Common destinations include Jesus, Nazi Germany, USA, ect. Basically, any well-known/really annoying thing is a perfect destination.
Once you get to your end article, either read it or play again, starting from your new article.

Get the Wikipedia hopscotch mug.A den of washed-up internet trolls who care more about doxxing the volunteers who edit Wikipedia than having a life. Much like a middle-aged divorcee, the average WPO dweller has nothing better to do than stew in their own hatred, obsessively stalk the very website they claim to hate (and, in many cases, are banned from), and cloak their absurd behaviour as "concern" for the site itself.

Get the Wikipediocracy mug.A subset of Encyclopedia Bias specific to wiki-style platforms, exacerbated by their open but anarchic structure. Bias emerges from administrator fiat, the tyranny of persistent editors with too much time, and sourcing rules that favor established publications (which have their own biases). The result is an illusion of crowd-sourced neutrality that actually codifies the prejudices and blind spots of a specific, digitally-enabled managerial class.
Example: A wiki page for a recent scientific controversy locks as "settled" the viewpoint supported by major institutional press releases. Dissenting studies from reputable but less famous journals are removed for "lack of reliable sources," enacting Wiki Bias. The open platform becomes a tool for enforcing a specific orthodoxy under the banner of procedural rigor.
