wikiality

en-noun

wikiality (usually uncountable, plural wikialities)

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-wikiality.wav

Blend of Wikipedia + reality, coined by Stephen Colbert 31 July 2006 on his show, The Colbert Report.

A group of undergraduates and alumni combated the backlash of "wikiality" and put their own spin on the facts about Cornell in an article about the University on the Web site Wikipedia.

2006 September 20, Felicia Daniels, “Wikipedia selects Cornell U. page as 'Featured Article'”, in University Wire:

2007 January 21, Kevin Garcia, “Wikiality is not reality”, in The Brownsville Herald:

Yet, this is the wikiality("truth based on consensus rather than fact") of the world, I'm sorry, of America, today

2007 January 5, Matt Martin, “Are we best we can be?”, in The Lantern:

Most important, here, Colbert calls attention to the Bush administration's cooption of wikiality: its continuous campaign to manipulate public perception.

2009, Jonathan Gray, Jeffrey P. Jones, Ethan Thompson, Satire TV: politics and comedy in the post-network era, NYU Press, →ISBN:

(derogatory) The supposed reality described by Wikipedia articles, whose content is established by majority consensus.


blue link

In most wikis, a link to an existing page appears in blue text.

Beyond the satisfaction it provides linguistically and in terms of pure meanness, what makes “nepotism baby” so popular is that it also functions as a tool, a simple way for our brains to deconstruct the bigger idea of upward mobility in inequality. Every human is someone’s child, but not everyone’s parents are a blue link on Wikipedia.

2022 August 31, Alex Abad-Santos, “They hate to see a nepotism baby winning”, in Vox:

(Internet, wiki jargon) A blue hyperlink that directs to an existing page of a wiki.

Wikia

The information found on a wikia is often the most comprehensive and de facto source of fan-authored content around a topic.

2014, Brandon Rhea, Wikia: So Much More Than a Wiki:

Because editorial links between Wikipedia and the Wikias are quite rare, we attempt to connect more strongly the Wikia collections in our study to Wikipedia by employing NEMO, a state-of-the-art Wikipedia-based EDL system.

2017, Joemon M Jose, Claudia Hauff, Ismail Sengor Altıngovde, Advances in Information Retrieval: 39th European Conference:

The battle between the two sub‐fandoms led to some actions within the Wikia, and the change in “the collaborative authorship” (Booth 2010, 92) of the platform. But the Wikia is also and above all a symbol of how well organized the fandom is, […]

The museums asked Wikimedians to provide the institutions with lists of thematic topics that required illustration.

2010, Nina Simon, The Participatory Museum, page 271:

Trusted Wikimedians could apply for one of the many levels of volunteer stewardship, receive administrator rights, and then move on to become “bureaucrats” and eventually “stewards.”

2013, Sotirios Paroutis, Loizos Heracleous, Duncan Angwin, Practicing Strategy: Text and Cases:

To create such a role, an institution works in partnership with an affiliate or a champion to find a Wikimedian editing in a certain topic area that is relevant to the collection, and then the institution invites that Wikimedian to fill the “Visiting Scholar" position.

2018, Merrilee Proffitt, Leveraging Wikipedia: Connecting Communities of Knowledge:

Brazilian aardvark

Brazilian aardvark (plural Brazilian aardvarks)

/bɹəˌzɪljən ˈɑɹdvɑɹk/

/bɹəˌzɪljən ˈɑːdvɑːk/

The name was picked up following its insertion into Wikipedia in July 2008 by Dylan Breves as a joke. The hoax was uncovered in 2014, but some use of the name has continued.

Specializing mostly in birds, pheasants and ducks, they also have a few donkeys, snakes, porcupines and a group of animals: Brazilian aardvarks, Mexican tejon, hog-nosed coons, pistoes and snookum bears, which are cousins of the racoon.

Added to the Wikipedia article Rabbit on 30 July 2007.

Overhead, the late-day sky wore a ruby blush and puffy clouds scurried east like a fluffle of pink rabbits.

2017, D. Wallace Peach, Kari's Reckoning:

the camera follows Tate leaping into the arms of Steve McQueen, then floating through a fluffle of bunnies before joining a gyrating throng of revelers on the grotto pool deck

eventualism

Apart from writing encyclopedia pages, The Cunctator loved to discuss Wikipedia and its policies. He spoke for anarchy (or at least an absence of hierarchy), eventualism (Wikipedia will get there in the end; his pseudonym means 'the delayer') and inclusionism (the wikiphilosophy whose motto could be 'let there be more articles').

2009, Andrew Dalby, The World and Wikipedia: How We Are Editing Reality, Draycott, Somerset: Siduri Books, →ISBN, page 121:

For some, eventualism is a fancy name for "passing the buck." It is being lackadaisical in doing something right now to fix things. For professional writers, editors, and academics, leaving things in a half-baked state was a clear departure from their comfort zone. But given the masses of wiki, Slashdot, Usenet, and open source software veterans, eventualism remained the prevailing attitude, at least in the early days.

2009, Andrew Lih, The Wikipedia Revolution: How a Bunch of Nobodies Created the World's Greatest Encyclopedia, New York, N.Y.: Hyperion, →ISBN, page 121:

(Wikimedia jargon) A wikiphilosophy which emphasizes the importance of an article's value in the distant future.


wikiphilosophy

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-wikiphilosophy.wav

(Wikimedia jargon) A philosophy or system of thought pertaining to the editing of Wikipedia.


wiki crack

Then one night he corrected an error in an article about Jewish holidays. You can do that?! It was his first inhalation of Wiki crack. He became one of Wikipedia's earliest registered users and wrote his first article—on Muckleshoot, a Washington State Indian tribe. Since then, he has made more than 16,000 contributions.

2006, Daniel H. Pink, “The Book Ends Here”, in The Best of Technology Writing 2006, Ann Arbor, M.I.: University of Michigan Press, →ISBN, page 109:

"You can't talk about it in terms of left and right," explains Corr. "But the whole way it is set up is about inclusivity, community and equality rather than competition and individualism." For the most part, people at the conference didn't talk about it in these terms at all. When the wiki-crack takes over, all you are interested in is your next hit.

2006 August 9, Gary Younge, “Geek nation”, in Alan Rusbridger, editor, The Guardian, London: Guardian News & Media, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2023-04-17:

Sites like Wikipedia are more in the middle, perhaps. Maybe people are drawn in by one initial topic and discover wikicrack and turn to a wider range of articles. (I know I have devoted a lot of time to topics I don't actually care about simply because I was wikiaddicted.)

2007 September 30, Brianna Laugher, “[Wiki World] a metric for community”, in Google Groups (Wiki World), archived from the original on 2023-06-11:

Finishing the 3,000 entries kicked off something in Ramsey's pleasure center. He had his first whiff of "wiki-crack," the irreverent jargon Wikipedians have used to describe their addiction. So he set out on the next task—adding 33,832 city articles to Wikipedia.

2009, Andrew Lih, The Wikipedia Revolution: How a Bunch of Nobodies Created the World's Greatest Encyclopedia, New York, N.Y.: Hyperion, →ISBN, page 101:

There is something fundamental, almost primordial at work. Some Wikipedians refer to it as "wiki-crack." It's the rush of dopamine that seems to hit the brain's pleasure center when you make a smart edit and it appears instantly in a Wikipedia article.

[2014 October 19, Walter Isaacson, “You Can Look It Up: The Wikipedia Story”, in The Daily Beast, archived from the original on 2022-10-14:

(Wikimedia jargon, humorous) A notional drug, likened to crack cocaine, supposed to cause individuals to become addicted to editing Wikipedia.


WikiGnome

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-WikiGnome.wav

To meet its goal of encapsulating the sum of human knowledge, Wikipedia draws on the talents of different kinds of editors. [Bryan] Henderson is an archetypical WikiGnome, a contributor who specializes in fixing typos, repairing broken links, adding categories and, yes, correcting grammar.

2015 February 3, Andrew McMillen, “Meet the Ultimate WikiGnome”, in Wired, San Francisco, C.A.: Condé Nast Publications, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2023-03-20:

On another front, one of the site's most prolific editors has made thousands of revisions, almost all of them correcting perceived misusages of the phrase "comprised of" across the site's millions of articles. Far from being treated as an eccentric outlier, this editor is celebrated, recognized as an exemplary WikiGnome, a class of editors committed to "tying up little loose ends and making things run more smoothly."

2015 February 18, Jacob Brogan, “Han Solo Shot First”, in The Atlantic, Washington, D.C.: The Atlantic Monthly Group, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2015-02-19:

[Steven] Pruitt considers himself a WikiGnome (according to Wikipedia, "a wiki user who makes useful incremental edits without clamouring for attention"), and he works the gamut, though much of his recent focus is on "authority control" — linking entries to worldwide library catalogues — and especially on categorizing articles.

2018 October 2, Stephen Harrison, “Wikipedia’s top editor is this mild-mannered Virginian”, in The Washington Post, Washington, D.C.: The Washington Post Company, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2020-03-02:

(chiefly Wikimedia jargon) A wiki editor (such as Wikipedia) that primarily makes minor and uncontroversial edits such as fixing typos and grammar mistakes.


metapedian

Users also move among different communities as they move from being a new user to an active user, or choose at any stage to exit the platform. Indeed it is not uncommon for many active users and metapedians to suffer burnout.

2015, Kim Osman, Wikipedia: Access and participation in an open encyclopaedia (thesis), Brisbane, Queensland: Queensland University of Technology, page 99:

(Wikimedia jargon) A Wikipedia editor who focuses on the social side of the project, such as participating in discussions or community events, rather than editing articles and contributing content.


Wikipediholic

Hopefully, you'll get hooked on Wikipedia soon and can add yourself to the list of "Wikipediholics" ;-).

2003 July 18, Erik Moeller, “Wikipedia needs skeptics”, in sci.skeptic (Usenet):

Yes, I am a Wikipediholic.

2004 July 6, Bryan Derksen, “Ringworld's Children”, in rec.arts.sf.written (Usenet):

Wikipedians can be a similarly compulsive and eccentric lot. So much so that some refer to themselves as Wikipediholics with a case of editcountitis, "a serious disease consisting of an unhealthy obsession with the number of edits you have made to Wikipedia."

2010, Joseph M. Reagle Jr., Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia, Cambridge, M.A., London: MIT Press, page 157:

Many Wikipedia pages deal with topics only of interest to the Wikipedia community itself. Some of these pages are funny: there's a 1,181-question test to see if you're a Wikipediholic (for anyone who willingly sits through the entire test, I think the answer is obviously "yes"); a list of articles with freaky titles ("22.86 Centimetre Nails," the metric version of the band "Nine Inch Nails," now unfortunately deleted); and many others.

2012, Michael Nielsen, Reinventing Discovery: The New Era of Networked Science, Princeton, N.J., Oxford, Oxfordshire: Princeton University Press, →ISBN, page 53:

(Wikimedia jargon) Someone who is addicted to editing Wikipedia.


Wikipediholism

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-Wikipediholism.wav

Blog streaking, Google-stalking, Wikipediholism and other modern maladies

2006 December 21, Jack Schofield, “(article title)”, in Alan Rusbridger, editor, The Guardian, London: Guardian News & Media, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2023-07-28:

The author of the original tool for counting edits noted that editcountitis, or an unhealthy obsession with the notion of edit count, can be fatal. Editcountitis is often a symptom of Wikipediholism, which is an even worse disease. The only sure treatment is worrying more about the quality of your edits than the quantity.

2008, Phoebe Ayers, Charles Matthews, Ben Yates, How Wikipedia Works, San Francisco, C.A.: No Starch Press, →ISBN, pages 324–325:

The community has dubbed obsessively editing the encyclopedia Wikipediholism; an article for the term warns that, "like any behavioral addiction, Wikipedia overuse may lead to job loss, divorce, bankruptcy, or worse. […] Remember, it's your time and you are donating it to Wikipedia. It is healthy to donate what you can afford to donate, but no more."

2015 February 3, Andrew McMillen, “One Man's Quest to Rid Wikipedia of Exactly One Grammatical Mistake”, in Wired, San Francisco, C.A.: Condé Nast Publications, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2023-06-18:

(Wikimedia jargon) An addiction to editing Wikipedia.


editcountitis

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-editcountitis.wav

A system that encourages number of contributions over quality can be counterproductive. Wikipedia cautions against 'editcountitis', humorously described as 'a belief that a Wikipedian's overall contribution level can be measured solely by their edit count'.

2006, Jane Klobas, Wikis: Tools for Information Work and Collaboration, Oxford, Oxfordshire: Chandos Publishing, →ISBN, page 199:

In fact, the very ease of this process may be the reason for deletionism's prevalence: Many Wikipedians suffer from editcountitis, the state of being overly obsessed with the number of edits one makes.

2017 March 6, Dariusz Jemielniak, “The Wikipedia Battle Over Really Short Articles”, in Slate, archived from the original on 2023-05-29:

(Wikimedia jargon) Obsession with increasing one's edit count on a wiki.


Wiknic

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-Wiknic.wav

"Basically, we tried to encourage people in each local area to do their own thing," says Richard Knipel, who has been heavily involved with New York area Wiknics on which the national effort, planned for 18 cities around the United States, is based.

2011 June 24, Monica Hesse, “A Wiki-Picnic for online encyclopedia editors”, in The Washington Post, Washington, D.C.: The Washington Post Company, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2021-07-28:

I find it regrettable that these events are only in the U.S. There are plenty of excellent Wikipedia contributors all around the world, and there are provisions for "Start[ing] an event for your city" (see the main Wiknic article), so I hope people from other countries will schedule local Wiknics soon.

2013 June 20, Berkeley Brett, “Wikipedia's own Manual of Style”, in alt.usage.english (Usenet):

On a recent Sunday, some members of the Wikimedia D.C. chapter — an eclectic mix of 50 or so area academics, professionals and all-around geeks — met up in Meridian Hill Park, not far from the White House, as part of the nationwide "Great American Wiknic." The group picnic, like the encyclopedia itself, was potluck.

2013 July 16, “The Great American Wiknic [edit]”, in NPR:

(Wikimedia jargon) A picnic organized by Wikimedians.


oversighter

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-oversighter.wav

Oversighters are allowed to hide revisions, user names, and other entries in an article's record of revisions (its log) so that only other oversighters and stewards can see them (called “suppression”).

2014, Dariusz Jemielniak, Common Knowledge?: An Ethnography of Wikipedia, page 34:

(Wikimedia jargon) A user with special wiki privileges allowing them to hide deleted data from the publicly viewable logs.


wikifarm

Educators interested in experimenting with wiki projects should check out the many “wikifarms” that host wikis for free or for a small fee.

2005 September, Jeffrey Hastings, “Cool Tools”, in School Library Journal, volume 51, number 9, page 45, column 2:

Wikifarms offer wiki software and hosting services for those who do not have the facilities or technical ability to create and host their own wiki.

2006, John Marshall Baker, Internet: Systems and Applications, St. Paul, Minn.: EMCParadigm, →ISBN, page 274:

We reviewed a range of wikifarms for suitability for our department’s needs. Methods: We referred to the list of wikifarms as listed in Wikipedia. By trial and comparison, we identified the features necessary for a departmental wiki. We selected a wikifarm based on these criteria.

2008 June, S. Shenoy, M.W. Lim, “[Scata-Esctaic 2007: Lecture Abstracts] Selecting a Departmental Wiki Solution – Cardiff’s Experience”, in Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing, volume 22, number 3, →DOI, page 252, column 2:

Wowpedia.org is a project fork of Wowwiki.com. […] This forking occurred in October 2010 after a dispute between most of the Wowwiki administration—including the wider community—and Wikia, the wikifarm hosting Wowwiki.

2014 November, Rik Hunter, “Hypersocial-Interactive Writing: An Audience of Readers-As-Writers”, in Literacy in Composition Studies, volume 2, number 2, →DOI, page 40:

Popular knowledge graphs such as DBpedia and YAGO are built from Wikipedia, and therefore similar in coverage. In contrast, Wikifarms like Fandom contain Wikis for specific topics, which are often complementary to the information contained in Wikipedia, and thus DBpedia and YAGO.

(wiki jargon) A content entry on an online wiki that has been peer-reviewed by the wiki's users (editors) as being of proficient or exceptional quality, worthy of a separate classification/designation above regular articles.


Wikigroaning

Blend of Wikipedia + groaning. Coined by Jon Hendren in a 2007 post on Something Awful (see quotation below).

We go Wikigroaning on the SA forums from time to time and feel confident enough to share the fruits of our latest outing with the public. We're pretty proud of some of these. Enjoy!

2007 June 5, Jon Hendren, “The Art of Wikigroaning”, in Something Awful, archived from the original on 2024-01-14:

The superabundance of less-than-prized information on the site has led to a phenomenon called "wiki-groaning," which involves comparing the length of seemingly disparate articles to humorous effect. Lightsaber Combat beats out Modern Warfare, for example, and John Locke, the character from the TV show "Lost," edges out the other John Locke, whoever he was.

2008 March 16, Noam Cohen, “Start Writing the Eulogies for Print Encyclopedias”, in The New York Times, New York, N.Y.: The New York Times Company, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2023-03-26:

And then there is the point made by wiki-groaning, the practice of comparing the length of Wikipedia articles to comic effect. For example "Lightsaber Combat" beats out "Modern Warfare."

2010 September 5, Ced Kurtz, “TechMan: Falling encyclopedia book sales squeeze publishers”, in Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Pittsburgh, P.A.: Block Communications, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2024-04-05:

It is true, as commentators on Wikigroaning have often observed, that the often ludicrous disproportion of trivial Wikipedia articles does not undermine the authority of more substantive articles because there is no shortage of bytes in the Wikipedia universe.

2014, Thomas Leitch, Wikipedia U: Knowledge, Authority, and Liberal Education in the Digital Age, Baltimore, M.D.: Johns Hopkins University Press, →ISBN, page 77:

(neologism, humorous) The act of comparing two similar Wikipedia articles, one considered generally useful and the other primarily appealing to nerdy interests, and observing that (to one's disappointment) the latter is significantly longer and more professionally written.
