wikipedestrian

A term to describe an individual who initially accesses Wikipedia for reference purposes, but after navigating through interesting wiki links finds themselves minus half a day and plus a growing collection of Wikipedia windows; each spanning vastly different topics.

John: I was using Wikipedia to find info on a band I like; next thing I knew it was four hours later and I had 30 Wikipedia windows open.
Jane: You're such a wikipedestrian.
John: This is never going to catch on.
Jane: That's because you're not selling it, 'find info on a band'? Please, that sounds so fake.

wikifarming

Using Wikipedia to unearth tidbits of knowledge for the purpose of bringing them up in conversation, in a despondent effort to make oneself seem smarter.
Typical subjects of wikifarming include theoretical physics, trivia from sitcoms, basic psychology, the works of Nostradamus, Shakespeare's tragedies, statistics from practically any organized sport (most often football or baseball), the Renaissance, and pretty much anything that could make one appear more knowledgeable in front of the right people. Usually fails.

A. "I was doing some research last night, and I found out that any four-dimensional object in four-dimensional space will cast a three-dimensional shadow. Turns out, most physicists agree that little, if anything, can be gained scientifically from assuming the fourth dimension to be time, but rather as another spatial axis, which is how..."

B. "Someone's been wikifarming."

The Wikipedia Game

A game that is played on the website Wikipedia.org. In this game, two or more people go from one Wikipedia page to the other by clicking on the blue highlighted words. The starting and finishing pages are determined by either clicking on the random page option or simply by choosing pages in advance. The winner is determined either by who gets to the finishing page in the shortest amount of time, or by who gets there with the fewest clicks. If one computer is faster or slower than the other, it is more reasonable to decide the winner by number of clicks. You cannot use search or the toolbox list of links. You can only go back if the page hasnt fully loaded or if it is a dead end. It is a good game to play when you are supposed to be working.

Jeff got from Willy Wonka to Optimus prime in only seven clicks! Now that is impressive!

By the time Phil got to Giraffe, Katie was stuck on Norwegian Desserts. She sucks at the Wikipedia Game.

wikipedia

Wikipedia is the academic equivalent of asking your friend or a group of your friends for information on a subject. Sometimes you get really smart insightful intelligent answers and sometimes you get complete garbage.

Simulation of asking wikipedia/a friend a question:

Hey, who was Robert Murdoch anyway?
Oh, hes that guy that owns Fox News and burger king or something in Australia I think. He was on the simpsons that time, remember?

Wikibrain

the state in which you unconsciously jump from thought to thought due to extended exposure to Wikipedia's many random links.
An accompanying side effect could be the recitation of random and useless facts and stories. The person afflicted with Wikipedia Memory most likely does not understand what he or she is saying. See Wikipedia Scholar

Someone afflicted with Wikibrain should immediately see their local hospital for a castration, lest the stupid spread to any children.

"Hey man why didn't you do your homework?"
"I don't know, I was looking up how to do trigonometry when I ended up reading an article on Norton, the emperor of the United States. It seems he was insane."

"Man, you have some serious Wikibrain"

"Yeah... Btw did you know according to Cartesian Dualism there are dual commitments about the nature of existence as it relates to mind and matter? That means I exist in two places at once. Therefore, I can eat my burger twice!"
