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.
