Wikilookup allows you to easily add popups and info cards from Wikipedia (and other wikis) to your posts.
This plugin offers two pieces: a popup, and a ‘card’, or a static poster, from Wikipedia or other wikis that operate on MediaWiki software.
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”.
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”.
You can find the settings page in your Dashboard -> Wikilookup.
