Wikirun

The action of searching Wikipedia or sub wiki site for the sole purpose of a predetermined piece of information or article. Only to find yourself clicking other imbeded links to other, sometimes unrelated wiki pages, repeating this action for multiple, sometimes dozens of pages. (A very much choose your own adventure styled approach.)

Friend: "So what was that song they played?"

Guy: Oh, I forget, I got sidetracked before I remembered to look"

Friend: "Idiot..."
