A "know-it-all" or "Cliff Clavin". Someone who considers themselves to be an expert on everything. A human storehouse of useless trivia, often of dubious veracity.
"That guy is so wikipedic...full of useless information and he never shuts up!"
"Why did I bring that up in front of so-and-so? I thought I'd never hear the end of it from Mrs. Wikipedic."

You mean to tell me you were online Saturday night at midnight updating Wikipedia's Scotty Bowman entry after rumours of his impending hiring by the Toronto Maple Leafs? Man, you're not only a wikipedant, you are a loser!

A cyber disease in which a Wikipedia surfer tries to avoid Wikarpal Tunnel Syndrome by "ctrl-clicking" the blue reference links which appear as tabs within their browser, and inadvertently creates too many tabs. Symptoms include complete confusion and the reading of information with the mistaken understanding as to what topic the information pertains to.
I opened so many tabs the other day that I almost crashed my browser. I must suffer from a bad case of Wikipeditis.
