[wikipedia game]

Clicking on "random article" and going from that article to Jesus by only using the links in the text. You have to do it in 6 clicks or less, its based off of the Six Degrees of Separation and seriously if you didnt get it then you screwed up cuz its possible from everything. Also when you are taken to something that isnt specific and lists things that are more specific, then picking one of them is not a click. And if you look at the Contents box and click something, it doesnt count.

Guy: "Dude I jus got from Bethesda, Ohio to Jesus in 4 clicks in the wikipedia game!"
Other guy: "...do you want a cookie?"

Wikipedia Rathole

The act of losing between 45-120 minutes while performing click-throughs from the initial Wikipedia page you were interested in.... often leading you to knowledge that has no relationship what-so-ever to your original search.

Man, I was lost 2 hours and missed a meeting because I went down a Wikipedia Rathole. However, I do now know that Richie Sambora is was born in Woodbridge, NJ.

NOTE: Original search was snow fall amounts in the NE.

Wikipedia Game

The inevitable result of trying to do serious research on wikipedia. Consists of clicking on random links in articles until you get as far away from the original topic as possible. The results must then reported to the closest person you know.

I was researching Warren Buffet for business class. Sure enough, I got into a session of the wikipedia game, and 9 pages later, I was on Louis the XIV of France.

Wikipedia Waterslide

When you're looking up something on Wikipedia, but while reading about it, you encounter several other concepts you are not familiar with. Naive internet users will proceed to also look up those concepts on Wikipedia (said concepts are usually written as links when mentioned in the text, and therefore intrigue readers enough to click on them). They, in turn, lead to other Wikipedia pages, and before you know it, you've gone from reading about string theory, to studying dinosaur erotica in incognito mode.

Careful when reading about stuff in Wikipedia, kids, or else you may end up falling down a Wikipedia Waterslide.

Me: "bro stop being a wikipedia page lmao"

wikipedia loop

The state of continually clicking links from article to article on Wikipedia following topics that grow progressively further from the search you started.

I started out on a Ford article on Wikipedia and ended up on an article about Animal Farm. I was in a wikipedia loop.
