A frequently-used Goofballism. This refers to the objective scumtells on the wiki. Townies who think that Mafia is a debate contest (as well as lazy scum who try to frame it as one) will misapply these wikitells or use them as buzzwords in an effort to demonstrate their point. Most experienced players won't fall for this sort of posturing, though.

Common "wikitells" are Appeal to Emotion (AtE), Information Instead of Analysis (IIoA), and Chainsaw Defense.
