wiligno

Contraction of the words "wilful ignorance" or "willing ignorance". A term for people who choose to believe that popular opinion and beliefs outweigh facts and the weight of evidence to the contrary.

Useful description for people who support a political candidate to their own detriment because they subscribe to a slogan.

Due to wiligno displayed by voters, they elected a politician who took away their benefits because they did not understand who they were voting for.

A WikiGnomeis a wiki user who makes useful incremental edits without clamouring for attention. WikiGnomes work behind the scenes of a wiki, tying up little loose ends and making things run more smoothly. Examples of WikiGnome-like behavior include fixing typos, correcting poor grammar, creating redirects, adding categories, and repairing broken links. Typical behaviors are ticking the "This is a minor edit" box before saving any edit, and not providing an edit summary. The WikiGnome is the original example of WikiFauna, having originated in the first wiki WikiWikiWeb. WikiGnomes are also known as WikiGardeners. WikiGnomes have a humble and very unassuming nature, yet Wikipedians should know that they still need to be told that their work is valued from time to time. If WikiGnomes don't occasionally feel the love from the people whom their work has helped, they might sneak into the kitchens of such users at night and sit on their dairy products. Their needs are modest in this regard, however, and it only takes a brief word to them once in a while to avert such an unfortunate event.

WikiGnomes love to work in the shadows making what are called minor edits in various nooks and corners of Wikipedia. Look at recent changes and you may even spot one at work.

WikiGnomes who are feeling familial or desirous of a grander sense of purpose often adopt a typo, gaining fulfillment by raising themselves into existence on the article namespace. Of course, editors are encouraged to garner up some courage and come into the light of day as a gesture of open friendliness and make their edits in a straightforward manner without being afraid of what others think.

A wikignosis is a diagnosis of a medical condition made with the assistance of Wikipedia.

e.g.

"People have always commented on the corpse-like temperature of my hands. I was finally able to make a wikignosis after I read this (see results of Wikipediasearch). Screw you, Medicare!"
