(Redirected from tanteking)


Tantek-ing is a method of encouraging people to contribute to the wiki by indirectly prompting the person who first mentioned the term to create a short wiki dfn page for it. Tantek Γ‡elik frequently asks "What is ___?" in IRC. Loqi will then respond with a prompt to create the page if it does not exist yet.

shaners: What is flask?
