Wiki trip

When one visits Wikipedia and clicks linked articles until they are at an article they never thought they would be at in the first place.

Person 1: I went to look up Burj Dubai on Wikipedia and somehow ended up reading about the Stanley Cup? How did this happen?

Person 2: Wow, that's quite the Wiki trip

falling into a wiki hole

the situation where a person looks up information on wikipedia and begins clicking on the links embedded in the articles text to continue gathering more information out of curiosity and then doing so for each proceeding article to the point where the person either has lost all track of time or has forgotten the initial purpose of going onto the wikipedia site

I was looking up the date of the Pearl Harbor attack but ended up falling into a wiki hole and next thing you know, it was 2 hours later and I was learning about ancient feudal Japan.

Wikifarianism

An offset of Atheism, the belief that more can be learned from Wikipedia than any religion or God.

Person 1: Yo dude so I heard you're an Atheist?
Person 2: No man I follow Wikifarianism.
Person 1: What the hell does that mean?
Person 2: I worship the sacred scripture of the Random Article page.

wiki-wormhole

When an insignificant curiosity starts on Wikipedia and becomes an involved series of following links within wiki pages to other pages, until you can no longer remember where you even began. Hence, the wiki-wormhole effect.

"I have been caught in a never ending wiki-wormhole!
How did that happen?
Good old fashioned procrastination, my friend."
