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.
