Wikipedia Style

When someone who is designated as, The Researcher, fails consistently at researching for the group.
Ethan, the researcher, was too afraid of researching what a punky brewster is. He pulled a Wikipedia style.

Wikipedia

Wikipedia, where 'collaboration' mostly depends on your edit count (bigger edit count=more power/influence) and where there's no way to verify the expertise of the most prolific (and often the highest count/most powerful) editors/admins who literally gatekeep their articles. It's like the Facebook/Reddit misinformation algorithm but worse, cz google and everyone else blindly follows and recommend it

Wikipedia hopscotch

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.

Wikipediocracy

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.
"I won't top sockpuppeting until Bbb23 and his little cabal of wikidictators unblock me and apologise to me! They still haven't discovered my VPNs that I use to ban evade"

"Dude are you alright? You sound like you've been on Wikipediocracy again."
