** And like Wikiwalking, it's created its own game, but more for the spectators than the participant. The goal is to get your teacher to tell stories about their past for the remainder of the class. Some teachers are more cooperative than others, creating a range of difficulties from EasierThanEasy (new teachers trying to connect to students) to NintendoHard (usually old ladies that actually think they're teaching you something useful).

Named for the ability of anybody to start out on a page and, two or three links later, find himself reading a totally unrelated trope. Definitely an example of TruthInTelevision. Often cannot be recreated, as anyone who has spotted an interesting trope en route, planned to come back to it, and then forgotten what it was will attest. Also results in loss of TheGame. Doing it intentionally for fun is known as "playing Wiki Tag."
