The mistake they made was allowing visitors to trigger the generation of articles via visiting any arbitrary URL.

A more resilient concept would have been, have a few "seed" articles in place, and then only allow for the creation of new articles by clicking a link in an existing article.

I vaguely remember a game someone made up (probably on 4chan) where the goal was to click "random article" and see how many clicks it takes to get to Hitler's page. I remember it being fun AND informative.

That would be a play on six degrees of kevin bacon [0], which spawned at least six degrees of wikipedia [1] and wikirace [2].
