I remember this was posted on 4chan.  It was quickly learned that the vast majority of paths end with science --> knowledge --> philosophy or something like that, so somebody edited the page for knowledge to loop back to science and thus everyone started going LOL IT DOESNT WORK.

Appears that knowledge links to fact now, but it still ends up at philosophy in the end.

I've tried that in an article about Daleks, which eventually puts me in a loop (unless I'm not noticing something).

I win. No links in article.
**** YEAH I BEAT THE SYSTEM.

Only links are external links!

I assume someone is now going to edit links into that article. But oh well.

Actually, this one DOES beat the system, you just get into a loop starting with "state"

[General Battuta]

But...state doesn't loop, it ends up at philosophy. 

I've tried that in an article about Daleks, which eventually puts me in a loop (unless I'm not noticing something).

Dalek also doesn't loop, it ends up at philosophy. Remember, you have to use the first link that is NOT in parentheses, NOT in italics.

Tried starting from Rome - This eventually puts you into an endless loop, without ever ending up at philosophy.

Same here, this doesn't loop, it goes to philosophy.

[StarSlayer]

Yeah I did Daleks to Philosophy successfully, you can actually start to see the pattern after a while.

[General Battuta]

Indeed, I've just started quitting once I hit certain pages that I know go to philosophy.

Yeah, I've somehow mixed up parentheses and quotation marks.

huh, wonder if this works for other languages...

You sure you did it right?

[Droid803]

You know, you can beat the system just by editing Property (Philosophy) to read

In mathematics,  modern philosophy and logic,...

instead of

In modern philosophy, mathematics and logic,

Thus creating and endless loop through Mathematics...
And it doesn't change anything meaning-wise...

Just tried it again, and ended up at philosophy First try I must have overlooked a paranthesis or something.

First link is an audio clip.

The first link is an external link.  You don't count externals.

It's 30 clicks, though.

[Pred the Penguin]

Not if you click the 'help' link. Or does that not count?

Apparently it doesn't always work for chinese... ah well.

The help link is in parentheses.  It doesn't count.

[Shivan Hunter]

starting with the FS article I got to a loop containing "Mathematics". Just a sec, I'll map it out

[EDIT] oops at about the 8th article I clicked the 2nd link instead of the first... the "Mathematics" loop definitely exists though.

[EDIT2] It just disappeared lol... the "magnitude" page (used to be part of "math" > "quantity" > "magnitude" > "math") now is like 2 links away from philosophy. FUUUU

[EDIT3] the "philosophy" page itself is part of a cycle of length 8
