I Am The Ultimate Wiki Hunter
Wiki Hunt or Wiki Race is when you go from one wikipedia page to another through hyperlinks in the wikipedia page. In this video, I attempt to Wiki Hunt / Wiki Race. CHECK OUT MY TWITCH. I STREAM. AT 5 PM EST Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/penguiteer How to Wikirace (Quoted from the Wikipedia Wikirace) "To Wikirace, first select a page off the top of your head. Using a randomized page works well, as well as the featured article of the day. This will be your beginning page. Next choose a destination page. Generally, this destination page is something very unrelated to the beginning page. For example, going from apple to orange would not be challenging, as you would simply start at the apple page, click a wikilink to fruit and then proceed to orange. A race from Jesus Christ to Subway (restaurant) would be more of a challenge, however. For a true test of skill, attempt Roman Colosseum to Orthographic projection if you want a very, very difficult game. Once you have selected a beginning page and a destination page, the race begins and the first person to reach the destination page wins. Finally, the racers are usually located in the same room, to be sure that no one has cheated. Wikiraces are common in classroom environments in which kids are bored." Rules (Source Wikipedia: Wikirace) Disambiguation pages are allowed to be used. Obviously, editing your beginning page to have a link to the destination page is not allowed. Not only does this defeat the point of the race, but it will compromise the integrity of Wikipedia and anger the Wikipedia users. A player may or may not use the "Back" button or any other feature of their browser which would allow them to view a Wikipedia article and then back-track to the previous one when one doesn't find the link that they were hoping for. Again, make sure everyone in the Wikirace is clear on the rules. Some games allow the use of the "Back" button but count this as a link clicked. A player may not use the Special:AllPages page to directly find the target page. Using the "find" function can spoil the race, as you do not need to read through anything and are just letting the computer do the work for you. The Categories bar may or may not be used. Using the "Navigation", "Interaction", or "Toolbox" links is also not allowed. The use of the "See also" links is optional and can be avoided for a longer and more difficult race. Inspired to do this after watching Ludwig's stream.
