Wikipedia:Wikipediholism test

Photograph of stained and used coffee mug with Wikipedia Globe Logo on desk
If you have a coffee-stained mug with a Wikipedia logo on it, you might be spending enough time on Wikipedia. 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 176 questions (or more than 370 if you count the sub-questions) or more! 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. You can also try the toolbar version made by Welovecontributors!, by adding mw.loader.load( '/w/index.php?title=User:Welovecontributors%21/test.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' ); to your common.js page.
