AnkiWikiPopup

Anki 2.1 addon to display Wikipedia page previews inside of Anki.

Shows a popup of the Mobile Wikipedia page / Extract for the selected text. In order to avoid conflicts with the Popup-Dictionary addon, this addon only supports keyboard shortcuts (Control-Shift-W) for now.

Mode:

Mobile (default) Extract (shorter, faster to load)

Features

  • Popup of either full mobile pages, or shorter extracts
  • page caching to speed up repeated searches
  • Multilanguage support - change the language in config.json with the language as per list here.

This addon currently in beta stage - things will almost certainly break! Please submit a bug report if it does.

Known issues

  • Disambiguation pages are not handled well
  • Does not work with NightMode due to the way Night-Mode monkeypatches Reviewer.revHtml, see this github issue here
