Either that, or they end up on Wikipedia for some other reason, maybe 
for the first, second or third time, see the logo banner in the corner 
and think "okay, I give up, what the heck is a 'wiki'?!" and type it in 
the search box just below.

But yeah, your explanation probably accounts for most of the hits, and 
is not one that would've occurred to me.  Nice lateral thinking. :)

And yeah, [[Wiki]] should definitely be an FA.
