Failing to accomplish any significant reading on Wikipedia due to following related links, perusing only the intro to each article, and in doing so, straying far from the original topic.
I logged on to Wikipedia and searched credit default swaps. Ten minutes later I was reading about bisexuality in the 1800s. Hate the wikipedia trap.

A vortex of confusion that goes against the laws of time and space. It is the act of going on wikipedia and clicking the links inside articles and mindlessly wandering the realms of mass information to the point that you have forgotten why you wete even looking at wikipedia in the first place.
I looked up "Hotel" on wikipedia and an hour later I was viewing an article about "Kato Kaelin." That is when I asked myself "How the fuck did I get here!?" What a Wikipedia Trip!

Wikipedia vandalism is an act of course where the user will add an irrelevant comment, remove all the text, replacing the text, adding links etc, which have nothing to do with the original article.
Person 1: Why the fuck are there Mario links on the fucking Sonic page on Wikipedia?
Person 2: Some faggot did Wikipedia Vandalism again.

n. A hypothetical future version of Urban Dictionary in which it is innundated by entries that are not so much definitions of words as they are extended, elborate, and baffling encyclopedia-style entries on pointless minutae (see wikipedia).
"Entries on characters from Stargate SG1? When did this turn into Urban Wikipedia?"
"Who the fuck keeps submitting these tracklistings of The Who albums? This is Urban Dictionary, not Urban Wikipedia."

The Wikipedia Effect is the tendancy for inquisitive people to become caught in an endless series of pages on the popular open-encyclopedia, "Wikipedia", to which they are forced to read every single page they've opened.
This tends to happen thanks to Wikipedia's inter-linking model, which links important words in a particular article, to an entire article on that word. The trend can then easily cascade from there, ending in dozens of pages that a user finds interesting.
