Darwikinism

Darwikinism is a neologism that describes the darwinistic process which WikiWiki-pages are subject to. The pages' fitness in terms of stability and visiting frequency can be substantially enhanced by the number of hyperlinks pointing to it.

The selecting agents, namely the authors, editors and visitors of the wiki's-pages themselves act under a (more or less obscure) selective pressure that leads them to assume their own fitness depend on those of their mental offspring. In reality, however, their corresponding adaptive[?] behaviour could well be nothing more than an addiction, which is normally under heavy negative selective pressure.
