Reilly Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Several times in the last hour I've generally searched something, clicked a wiki link, and been devastated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor!42! Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 ahah, me too......and now I've realised how many pointless things i search for on wiki. btw, you can just press the esc button before the black page loads and you'll be able to read the page :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crests Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 This one time some guy got pissed off at me for reverting his vandalism so he did this to a random article. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shays%27_Rebellion&action=historysubmit&diff=466103411&oldid=465731869 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busybeeburns Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 So far today I have been hindered in my search for knowledge on Des Lynam, footballer Sam Vokes and 2011 snooker Masters history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reilly Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 So far today I have been hindered in my search for knowledge on Des Lynam, footballer Sam Vokes and 2011 snooker Masters history. Search for it, when the page loads or even before that, keep hitting esc key and it will stay on the page. As illustrated by previous poster. I can't believe I'm enlightening the webmaster.

Brent Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 ...or you can use m.wikipedia.org (their mobile site). Just replace the language ("en" for english) with "m" for whichever page you want. Or just use the mobile site. There's a lot of ways to overcome your Wikipedia addiction (I have one too...I can't believe it's only been 13 hours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
