A WikiQuickie is what you make when you create a wiki page with just the URL to another site, and don't bother entering any comments.
aka quiki
Pro:
- it's fast, lets you capture a URL into the wiki.
- it keeps the external URL in just one part of the wiki: makes updating easier
- It's a little stub for future discussion.
Con:
- Just another dang click to get to the content.
- It's a lie; it suggests there is content on the page when there isn't.
- It's the ultimate ShallowPage.
See GoodLinkStyle for discussion on whether this is a good or bad thing.
