I don't know about everybody else but I don't use wiki as a verb, it's a noun in my vocabulary. I'll say "Google it" but I won't say "wiki it" or "Wikipedia it.

I don't know about everybody else but I don't use wiki as a verb, it's a noun in my vocabulary. I'll say "Google it" but I won't say "wiki it" or "Wikipedia it." I'll say "Check the wiki" as if every other wiki on the internet doesn't exist and Wikipedia is the wiki.
- J_Darnley 13y agoI don't use wiki as a verb either. There's more than one wiki and if you want to find the right information you need to check the right one. If you want encylopedic knowledge about Star Trek you will check Memory Alpha. Star wars, Wookiepedia. I don't quite remember the "origin story" behind other wikis but thought it was because Wikipedia didn't want the content which now fills these others. Anyway, because these other wikis exist with, I presume, far more detail than Wikipedia contains is the reason Wikipedia won't become /The Wiki/.
