Is stalking in the real world a crime in itself? The making of
threats of bodily harm certainly is a crime. Stalking behavior would
certainly make such a threat seem more real, but is stalking without
an explicit threat a crime?

I view it as a subset, i.e. wikistalking is cyberstalking on a site that
happens to be a wiki.
But then what is cyberstalking? I've seen it applied to as little as
paying attention to the edits a particular editor makes. Is it
wikistalking to gather evidence for an arbitration request? The term
is quite obviously useless if it is.
The only definition of cyberstalking that I think makes sense is a
subset of stalking. In fact, the Wikipedia article currently uses
that definition in the first sentence: "Cyberstalking is the use of
the Internet or other electronic means to stalk someone."
Of course, 99 times out of 100 I bet someone who uses the term
"wikistalking" isn't talking about actual stalking.
