… apparently it’s not a thing, sorry, I thought I was using the correct term and I wasn’t. I’ve edited the OP. I meant e.g. “falling in a Wiki rabbit hole”: reading a Wiki article, then following links to another Wiki article, and so on until you’ve spent a lot of time on the Wiki and end up somewhere very different than you started.
While I’ll withhold judgment on whether it’s good or bad that this happens, when it does happen it significantly increases wiki usage. And because not all tags and posts on LW are cross-linked like a Wiki, this kind of rabbit hole browsing can’t happen in the same way.
What is wiki-crawling?
