wikipodium 

Refers to the false feeling of superiority one gets from correcting someone else by looking something up online, despite the fact the person making the correction did not actually know the answer prior to looking it up. Especially applicable during board games involving trivia.

The correction must be delivered smugly as the term does not apply to genuine attempts to share accurate information.
A: "What is the largest country?"
B: "China."
A: "That's not the right answer."
A: "Well, what is it then?"
(A looks up the answer on a smart phone.)
A: Smugly replies, "It's Russia."
B: "Get off your wikipodium, you didn't know either."

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.

WikiMedia 

A pejorative for any digital or print source of news (similar to the online encyclopedia Wikipedia) provides only surface-level or Establishment-approved information.

In a contemporary Western context, it is used alongside or in place of the term "Mainstream Media".
Skylar: "Hey Kevin, did you hear that our President is secretly a Russian foreign agent?"

Kevin: "You have to stop listening to the WikiMedia before its too late."

Wikimedia 

A scam from Jimmy Wales weirdo that cannot handle even news in any major country. Not to mention anything more verbose and important. It's full of wikinazis as well. Call the police.
