Wikipedia:Wikipediholism test
This page contains material that is kept because it is considered humorous. Such material is not meant to be taken seriously. |
If you're not sure if you are a wikipediholic, you should take this test. 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 likely it is that you are a wikipediholic! 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. Formats should be added as #ENTRY (point value, additional notes) in order to be compatible with the automated version.
Give yourself at least an hour (1 hour and 30 minutes with the manual version) because there are more than 700 questions!
Don't want it to take that long? Then use the automated version!
- Depending on your browser, browsing away from the automated test page may cause you to lose all of your progress. But real Wikipediholics don't do that anyway.

Score | Result |
(100000000) or less | You are a wikiterrorist bent on planning to destroy Wikipedia and send it to eternal doom (NO! The wiki-irony!), or you thought this test was a serious complete/total/utter waste of time. |
(99999999) – (17500000) | You are an extremely evil/abusive vandal/troll, a liar who calls him or her self "The Jimbo Wales". – You need to take a mandatory wikibreak at this point. At least six months should be long enough, don't you think? |
(17499999) – (500000) | You are a really evil vandal, and you may possibly threaten to take legal action and sue Jimbo Wales along with the Wikimedia Foundation. (Ooh... You should wish that evidence convinces the court into your decision, or else big trouble is coming to you!) |
(499999) – (75000) | You are an evil vandal who has the extreme gut to ruin the reputation of Wikipedia. You may find your self lying a lot when you're being questioned by an administrator. – You sure can take a voluntary wikibreak at this point. Either that, or you spend too much time on Uncyclopedia instead of Wikipedia. |
(74999) – (2500) | You are indeed a vandal who has hatred over Wikipedia and their articles. |
(2499) – (1) | You either intentionally or inadvertently made some slight mistakes. Otherwise, you have no intention of helping Wikipedia and may be considered a vandal. (Oh no!) |
0 | You haven't taken the test yet, you just arrived here, or somehow by coincidence(?) you managed to get exactly 0. Congratulations! |
1 – 499 | You are a newbie familiarizing yourself around around Wikipedia. You probably have made at least one edit on some article for the first time. |
500 - 749 | You are an IP address user or a sock puppet with few edits. |
750 - 999 | You are an average new contributor. |
1000 – 1499 | A well-balanced attitude that may benefit by spending more time on Wikipedia. |
1500 - 1749 | You have normal experience with Wikipedia. |
1750 - 1999 | This is the optimal, most productive range. |
2000 – 2499 | You are slightly overdoing yourself. You might want to consider a wikibreak. |
2500 - 2999 | Scores in this range begin to possibly be fatal. Ask yourself... how many edits have you made so far? |
3000 - 3499 | You are really overdoing yourself. Take a wikibreak for a few days. |
3500 - 3999 | You are officially addicted to Wikipedia. Your number of average edits per day are sure to be above the normal average. |
4000 - 4999 | You are editing too much! It's recommended that you get a real life for the time being. |
5000 - 5999 | You are at the stage of advanced Wikipediholism. You might need to see a doctor or a psychiatrist. (Even though you may be afraid of them, you must start your checkup regardless!) |
6000 - 6999 | Go see a doctor or a psychiatrist NOW! Don't try the old apple proverb; they never kept all doctors away! |
7000 – 7999 | Seriously, you need a doctor. (And while you're there, get him to check your wrist if you've already gotten a repetitive stress injury from the countless random page clicks or finger typings you've made.) |
8000 - 8999 | You are in very serious trouble. It is very rare to turn away from Wikipedia at this range. |
9000 - 9999 | Your chances of turning away from Wikipedia are slim to none. You may also have been awarded way too many barnstars, and those shiny images must have mesmerized you and convinced you should stay here. |
10000 - 12499 | You need a month long wikibreak. After that, then you still need to check your doctor for any signs of Wikipediholic relapses. |
12500 - 14999 | You really need to understand that you need help. Here's a tip: sign up for therapy classes. |
15000 - 19999 | Seriously, you really need to listen to the advice given above this field. |
20000 - 44999 | Chance of turning away from Wikipedia: less than 0.001% – Doctors can no longer cure you; now only psychiatrists can. Find them now! |
45000 - 99999 | Very few psychiatrists can even start to cure people at this range. In the meantime, just remember this: if you are editing an article, make sure to take deep breaths between intervals. |
100000 - 499999 | Oh no! Now only the world's best psychiatrist can cure you at this range. Go find this person. Now. Quick! Before it worsens! |
500000 - 1749999 | Wikipediholism is practically impossible to cure at this range. No therapist can save you now. Wikipedia is controlling your presence. Run. Run fast. |
1750000 - 24999999 | You are an insane maniac. You will die while editing Wikipedia, and you will be editing Wikipedia after you're dead. You are the ultimate and all-star Wikipediholic. Congratulations! (Now, get back to editing. What are you doing here? Work!) |
25000000 - 99999999 | You are Jimbo Wales. Wait-- you're the Jimbo Wales. We love you. (How thoughtful!) |
100000000 or more | You are the all star Wikipedian! Maybe you can definitely run the entire Wikimedia Foundation. In the meantime, please edit this page in your sleep only. |
