When reading an article on Wikipedia, you click a link within the article and jump to a related article. On said related article, you click yet another link to a different article.
Often the article you end up with is not at all related to the original--like playing the game Telephone. This continues until half of your night is wasted.
To spend time wiki jumping:
1: Read article about Anime. Article links to Otaku.
2: Read article about Otaku. Article links to Serial Killers.
3: Read article about Serial Killers. Article links to the UniBomber.
4. Read article about UniBomber. Article links to Iowa.
5. Read article about Iowa. Article links to Corn.
6. Rinse and repeat.
Anime != Corn

'The Jump' in online media refers to a large block of inline advertising separating a page of text. It is a form of advertisment commonly used by bloggers and tech-press, but creates a major distraction for readers. The web-equivalent of the commercial break.
The use of the phrase "More after the jump..." signifies that a reader should scroll down past the adblock for further on the story, as with "More after this word from our sponsors" on television.
...with people speculating that Apple are soon to release a new brand of laptop powered by hampsters. More after the jump.

After the “more” link.
In many blogs, only the first paragraph or two of a post is displayed unless you’re reading the full article. After this first paragraph or two, there is a link to the full post. This break is called the “jump”.
…And more importantly, does that mean your fruit may be poisonous? Find out after the jump.
