Wiki-surfing

Using the hyperlinks in Wikipedia articles to follow a trail from one subject to another.

I was wiki-surfing today and discovered Godwin's rule.

wiki surfing

to get hooked into reading wikipedia articles, then clicking on links and reading other articles for no reason

How did I spend my afternoon? Well, I was wiki surfing.

wikisurfing

The act of going from one Wiki (such as Wikipedia, or Uncyclopedia) article to another. This sport can be highly entertaining and time-consuming. The vast amount of material covered, and the number of links within an article make it possible to jump (for example) from Monty Python to Vacuum Cleaners, and then to World War II.

"Dude, I spent like all of last night wikisurfing. I have no life."
