.A WikiKnight has his own code of chivalry which he unwaveringly follows and is a sworn enemy of WikiDragons. He will often do his best to impress a WikiPrincess with his noble deeds.
History
WikiKnights descend from the ephemeral
In the first age, Knights had much work to do, great missions awaited them and danger lurked at every corner. Fierce WikiDragons roamed the land, and terrorized the villages; it was these epic battles with their cold blooded foes that defined much of the WikiKnights' history.
The legendary WikiDragon, a once powerful beast that provided excitement in an otherwise un-stimulating world, would often cross paths with a WikiKnight. However, in the better-ordered and more delicately balanced modern world, the dragon is now an anachronism, and few remain. Those that do exist focus their attention on outlying areas, such as minor members of the English aristocracy,
Despite their sworn enmity, WikiKnights rarely slay WikiDragons. For all the sword-clanging and fire-breathing, WikiKnights know that without the WikiDragon, they would just be another WikiGnome, toiling away underground. And deep in their hearts, WikiDragons know they need the WikiKnight; otherwise they would become just another gold-hoarding WikiMonster, loathed for the destruction they bring.

Some propaganda futilely attempts to argue that Dark WikiKnights don't even really exist, that they are a falsehood spread by the few remaining dragons and wounded WikiOgres to give an incredulous bias against the knighthood in general.
Contrast with WikiGiants, who sometimes cause collateral damage amongst the innocent WikiFauna during the destruction of invading vandals. The phenomenon of the WikiGiant is that of a tank in a china-shop. The phenomenon of the Dark WikiKnight is more subtle; it is a tale of corruption by power, the evil path less travelled that true WikiKnights eschew, as historically documented in The Fellowship of the Ring for the cautionary saga of Galadriel, who edits Wikipedia still from beyond the western seas.
