Wikipedantic

The insertion of pedantic details into a Wikipedia article in order to appear smart or jack up your edit cred.

The speeding car struck a Sycamore iAcer pseudoplatanus/i tree after spinning out of control near Gipsy Lane on Queens Ride, Barnes, southwest London.
(en.wikipedia.org article on Marc Bolan)

"Acer pseudoplatanus" is Wikipedantic since it's not really necessary to the article.

wikiality

Reality as determined by general consensus rather than cold hard facts. If enough people say it is true, then it is true.

The population of elephants in Africa has tripled in the past six months. Colbert and all Heroes know this to be true, despite the absence of facts to back up this opinion. "Vandalizing" the Wikipedia entry to reflect this wikiality is a perfectly valid thing to do.

Wikimongering

the annoying habit that some people have of allowing wikipedia to permeate every facet of their life to the extent that they must draw a connection to wikipedia in every possible situation, appropriate or not.

<Toothpaste> You should check Wikipedia for that, it has great make-up tips.

Toothpaste is always wikimongering.

Wiki Hater

Someone who still doesn't know Wikipedia doesn't allow everyone to edit things anymore. Most likely teachers and older authoritative figures.

John: Dude I hate research...
Ryan: Why? Just go on Wikipedia.
John: I can't because then I'll get a lot of info and be done, but no I gotta filter through all the websites because my teacher is a Wiki Hater.
Ryan: Doesn't he know that the site has bots that comb through every page to make sure only admins post?
John: Nope...
Ryan: What about the fact that if an Admin posts without documentation it'll say "This needs more citations"?
John: Of course not...
