WikiPadawan

To describe a Wiki Padawan, I first must re-tell you a story.

A master of martial arts was having a birthday party and invited three former students. To enter the master's abode required entering the garden through a small door in the wall, and it was there that master positioned himself with his staff.

The first student came to the door, knocked and started to come through. At which point, the master soundly rapped him on the shoulder with his staff. The student rolled away and came up in a very sound, defensive position. The master nodded to him.

"Master, why did you strike me?" asked the stunned former student.

"No matter," answered the master. "Go and join the others who already are celebrating."

And, the master return to waiting. The second student came to the entrance, pushed open the door, waited, then began to enter. The master went to strike the former student, and the student was able to dodge the blow and roll away. He jumped up smiling and bowed a greeting to the master. The master bowed ever so slightly and smiled.
"Well done! I have some wine that you might enjoy, go and join the others."
Then the master returned to waiting. The third student came to the entrance, paused, and called out,
"Master, I have come to honor you on your birthday. I know that you await me behind this door. Please do not attempt to strike me."
The third student then entered. Each bowed to the other and the master said,
"Come, let us join the party."
