Good question! Here is my understanding.

A troll is someone who logs in to places where they can leave comments (like a wiki) and only posts comments that are designed to purposely agitate other users.

For example, they can just accuse people of doing bad things, or maybe they call people names, or maybe they keep on rehashing the past, or maybe the change pages to have false information...there are many things one can do to be a troll.

It comes from the story of the troll hanging out under a bridge and attacking those that try to cross the bridge.
