Thewiki rabbit hole (orwiki black hole),[1] also called awiki walk, is thelearning pathway which a reader travels by navigating fromtopic to topic while browsingWikipedia (throughhyperlinks in articles) and otherwikis. Themetaphor of a rabbit hole comes fromLewis Carroll's 1865 novelAlice's Adventures in Wonderland, in whichAlice begins an adventure by following theWhite Rabbit into hisburrow. Theblack hole metaphor comes from the idea that the reader is powerfully sucked into a hole from which they cannot escape.

After learning or studying outside of Wikipedia, many people go to the online encyclopedia to learn more about the same topic, and then proceed to topics progressively further removed from where they started.[2] Films based onhistorical people orevents often spur viewers to explore Wikipedia rabbit holes.[3]

Data visualizations showing the relationships between Wikipedia articles demonstrate pathways that readers can take to navigate from topic to topic.[4] TheWikimedia Foundation publishes research on how readers enter rabbit holes.[5] Rabbit hole browsing behavior happens in various languages of Wikipedias.[6]

Wikipedia users have shared their rabbit hole experiences as part of Wikipedia celebrations as well as onsocial media.[7][8] Some people go to Wikipedia for the fun of seeking a rabbit hole.[9][10] Exploring the rabbit hole can be part ofwikiracing.[11]
