Wiki-fu
A new word meaning competence in using wikis - nice!
Example usage: "Oh dear, I screwed the wiki - apologies - my Wiki-Fu is not up to scratch."

You should think of a Wikipedia entry. Or is it too unencyclopedic? Be aware of the deletionists .... (see Wikipedia "deletionism").

yeah, there are many wikiworms that take great pleasure in deleting new articles. I had some personal experience in that but you can actually follow up on it and you may be able to convinve the right people to undelete the article or reach a compromise. There are wikipedia processes that have been defined exactly for that purpose. Regarding wiki-fu, I think that they would say it is unencyclopedic and urge you to make an entry in wiktionary.
