The act of spending long amounts of time reading several articles on Wikipedia or other Wiki sites. Usually the act starts with the reader reading an article they intended to read, then following links to other articles within the first article. The wikitrips can last for hours, and usually spans several various topics.
"Last night I went on Wikipedia to look up stuff for my research paper on Argentina, then I followed links until I eventually was reading about the minors characters of the Star Wars movies. It was a super long wikitrip."
