			If you're not sure whether you are a ] or are unsure about the amount of ] you took, then you should take this test. Be prepared to take at least 15 minutes because there are about 130 questions (or nearly 300 if you count the sub-questions). The point value of answering "yes" to each question is listed in parentheses <code>()</code> at the end of the question. The higher the result, the more Wikipedihol you had! New questions and modifications are of course welcome—good questions are those that measure current ] (e.g., "have you edited a page in the last week?", not "have you ever edited a page?"), on the hypothesis that Wikipediholism can be cured, or at least controlled to some degree. New questions should be added as <code><nowiki>#ENTRY (point value, additional notes)</nowiki></code> in order to be compatible with the automated version. There's an if you don't want to add up the score yourself; ] and ] versions are also available.

Latest revision as of 13:52, 30 December 2024

This page contains material that is kept because it is considered humorous.
Such material is not meant to be taken seriously.

Shortcuts

If you have a coffee-stained mug with a Misplaced Pages logo on it, you may be spending too much time on Misplaced Pages. Why not spend some more time and take this test?

If you're not sure whether you are a Wikipediholic or are unsure about the amount of Wikipedihol you took, then you should take this test. Be prepared to take at least 15 minutes because there are about 130 questions (or nearly 300 if you count the sub-questions). The point value of answering "yes" to each question is listed in parentheses () at the end of the question. The higher the result, the more Wikipedihol you had! New questions and modifications are of course welcome—good questions are those that measure current addiction (e.g., "have you edited a page in the last week?", not "have you ever edited a page?"), on the hypothesis that Wikipediholism can be cured, or at least controlled to some degree. New questions should be added as #ENTRY (point value, additional notes) in order to be compatible with the automated version. There's an automated version if you don't want to add up the score yourself; legacy and modern versions are also available.
