Wiki Rabbit Holes

The professional encyclopedia, still going, and a useful second opinion whenever Wikipedia gets contested.

Tens of thousands of fan-run wikis, each documenting one fictional universe in wholly unreasonable depth.

Wikipedia's index of its own indexes, which is either a long-running joke or the purest expression of the site.

Every Wikipedia edit as it happens, rendered as bells and strings, with each new user announced by a whisper.

The Star Trek wiki, maintained with the rigour of a national archive and roughly the same word count.

A snarkier reference work covering pseudoscience, conspiracy theories and the people making a living from them.

Enter any two articles and get every shortest path of links between them, drawn as a graph you can drag.

A scholarly reference to the whole genre, free to read, covering authors nobody else ever bothered to write up.

Race from one Wikipedia article to another using only links, against a clock and other people online.

Wikipedia's calmly written schedule of everything still to happen, ending long after the last star has gone out.

A taxonomy of every storytelling device ever used, cross-linked so densely that leaving takes actual discipline.

One click, one random Wikipedia article, repeated until the afternoon has quietly gone somewhere else.

Wikipedia's own catalogue of the pettiest disputes in its history, including years of war over a hyphen.

The editors' own curated list of the encyclopedia's strangest entries, and the best rabbit hole entrance there is.

Wikipedia with a readable layout, a proper contents sidebar and images that stop fighting the text.
