A Google Chrome extension that allows users to become wiki-ninjas overnight by making it dead-simple to explore Wikipedia (or any other wiki on the web).
To install, visit the extension page on the Chrome Webstore.
All you need to know, dear user, is the magic spell - Shift + Left Click. Cast the incantation on any inter-article link on a wiki and, lo and behold, the article appears!
Yeah, I know. The magic analogy annoys the hell out of me, too. Time to ditch it and let the screenshots do the rest of the talking:
- Preview articles in ANY language, on ANY wiki across the Internet
- Fullscreen wiki-browsing, for times when you're deep down a rabbit hole
- Minimize preview window to remove clutter without losing your position in the previewed article
- Open article in a new tab directly from the preview
- Intelligent window positioning
- Cute interface :)
- script.js - the core file, handles all operations on the preview
- background.js - to show the page action on appropriate wiki pages, and to handle disabling / enabling of the extension
- manifest.json - Packaging-related file, needed for publishing to the webstore
- *.css, *.png - look and feel, icons, etc.
See the developer docs for Google Chrome Extensions to learn more about how they're structured.
