Wikilookup

Beschrijving

Wikilookup allows you to easily add popups and info cards from Wikipedia (and other wikis) to your posts.

Features

  • Easily mark words and terms in your posts to pop information from Wikipedia articles
  • Easily add a stylized card in your post and pages that displays information from Wikipedia article
  • Pull from multiple language Wikipedias and dictate the default language for your blog content
  • Pull information from other wikis easily, like specialized wikis and game wikis
  • Robust settings allowing you to control the text and general behavior of the popups and cards
  • Support displaying content in Right to Left languages

Usage

This plugin offers two pieces: a popup, and a ‘card’, or a static poster, from Wikipedia or other wikis that operate on MediaWiki software.

Adding popups

To add a popup, while editing a post, surround your text with [wikipopup] shortcode. You can reference a language or a different source, if you’ve set one up.

For example:
[wikipopup]WordPress[/wikipopup] – Displays a popup from English Wikipedia about the article “WordPress”
[wikipopup title="WordPress"]This is some text[/wikipopup] – Displays a popup from English Wikipedia about the article “WordPress”, while the trigger text is ‘This is some text’
[wikipopup title="WordPress" source="ext"]This is some text[/wikipopup] – Displays a popup from the external source you’ve defined as “ext”, about the article “WordPress”, while the trigger text is ‘This is some text’

You can define sources in “Settings -> Wikilookup -> External wikis”.

Adding cards

To add a card, while editing a post, add a line with [wikicard title="term"]. You can reference a language or a different source, if you’ve set one up.

For example:
[wikicard title="WordPress"] – Displays a static card from English Wikipedia about the article “WordPress”.
[wikicard title="WordPress" lang="es"] – Displays a static card from Spanish Wikipedia about the article “WordPress”.
[wikicard title="WordPress" source="ext"] – Displays a static card from the external source you’ve defined as “ext”, about the article “WordPress”.

You can define sources in “Settings -> Wikilookup -> External wikis”.

Settings

You can find the settings page in your Dashboard -> Wikilookup.

smartly executed; works as advertized. Big advantage that the wikicards can also be used directly in posts / pages. After toying with several plugins to pull summaries from Wikipedia, this is currently the one I’ll stick with. wish list: under display settings, make the text bits “See article for copyright information” and “Support Wikipedia” translatable as well introduce option to either load entire summary block of Wikipedia entry or load first {n} words of summary block of Wikipedia entry Thank you very much for this fine little helper 🙂 (y)

Works as advertised. Shows really nice cards in the posts. Enhancements would be: autocomplete on existing topics in the wiki when configuring a block in the block editor.

This plugin does what it says on the box. It works well, supports multiple languages and bidirectionality correctly, and was written by an engineer working for the Wikimedia Foundation itself!

This plugin is really awesome. I really don’t know why still there are no more installations, but I believe this will change very soon. Keep up the good work 😉
