App Details

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.
