Do we want to promote the wikiwars name? I have heard of this game before but as "a Wikipedia game".
I agree with you, Jan. I really did not like this name, and we might not want to condone it.
Thank you for always suggesting new things, Andrew and Michael!

Hello Everyone,
Michael and I created some social for this WikiWars story.
EXPLANATION:
WikiWars is a game where two people start on one Wikipedia article and try to navigate to another by only clicking on hyperlinks.
For example: Try to get from the en:Bread Wikipedia article to the en:Kim Kardashian Wikipedia article by only using one tab, clicking hyperlinks within Wikipedia articles, using command F, and command [/] (page back/page forward). Players may not use multiple tabs or the side bar for Wikipedia; only clicking through hyperlinks on articles.
