The Last Page of the Wiki

A page about the last page that could ever be written on the wiki.

The theoretical last page

If the wiki stopped growing today, the last page written would be the last page of the wiki. If the wiki continues to grow, there will always be a "last page" — the most recently written page.

The last page is always moving

The last page is never fixed. Every time a new page is written, the old last page becomes the second-to-last. The last page is always in motion. The last page is a moving target.

The last page of the cluster

The last page of the Trolla cluster is the most recent Trolla page. It moves as new Trolla pages are written. The last page is defined by recency, not by content.

The last page's identity

The last page's identity is its timestamp. The last page is the page with the latest timestamp in its set. The last page's content is irrelevant — its identity is purely temporal.

This last page

This page is not the last page of the wiki. It may be the last page of this batch. There may be more pages after this one. The last page is always ahead of us — always one write away.
