This plugin replaces [wikipedia]topic[/wikipedia] with a wikipedia search link for that term.
Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Wp-Wikipedia-Excerpt version 0.2 as active, updated 18y ago and tested up to WordPress 2.3.
The basic idea here is that you can easily link to the wikipedia entry for a given topic by putting the [wikipedia]topic[/wikipedia] tag into your post. The tag is replaced by a link that executes the wikipedia search form for that topic.
The plan is to augment this with a mouseover popup containing an excerpt from the wikipedia page.
Not yet marked as tested with WordPress 7.1. WordPress.org currently lists Tested up to 2.3.
“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
No tracked version or compatibility changes have been recorded by WP PlugIndex yet.
WP PlugIndex tracks public WordPress.org directory metadata and records selected version, compatibility and availability changes as they are detected.
