I don’t have a crazy or funny outline for you, but when it comes to humor and Wikipedia, almost every single act of pettiness on this very long page is pretty damn funny.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lamest_edit_wars

The best one actually has its own separate article dedicated to its pettiness:

Star Trek (I/i)nto Darkness

Main article: Wikipedia Star Trek Into Darkness debate

Is it “Into” or “into”? A simple capitalized letter led to, as xkcd neatly summed up, “Forty thousand words of debate”, before suggesting the “compromise” solution of “* StAr TrEk InTo DaRkNeSs *”. Here’s what the horrifying talk page looked like when the xkcd comic was published. A summary of the results was necessary to keep things sane. And that’s over three months before the film’s opening. Starfleet representatives have neglected to comment.
