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."

Verb. Wikitripping is when a person looks something up on Wikipedia and while reading the article, they click on one of the links within it, and proceed to read that article, upon which they click on another link and again read that article. The process may repeat itself many times, often until the person loses track of time and/or has no recollection of what information they originally sought.

She doesn't even remember how she got to a page on shrunken heads or where she started from, but it was an interesting wikitrip.
