A WikiWidow or WikiWidower is a person who has lost, or potentially lost, their partner to Wikipedia.
WikiWidows are said to come from a strange land called WP:REALLIFE. Indeed, they almost never visit Wikipedia, being commonly found anywhere but.
Where their partner's WikiCalling is concerned, WikiWidows can have inhuman patience. However, they are known to be afflicted with WikiDeafness, an inability to understand any sentence containing the prefix Wiki.
As important as it is to nurture Wikipedia, it is equally important to nurture one's WikiWidow, for, if neglected, they will fade away, back into WP:REALLIFE, never to be seen again.
