Extension summary

This is a chrome extension that houses a collection of tools for people who make custom wikiboxes on Wikipedia for fun.

What is a wikibox?

They are those info boxes that you see about people/events/etc on wikipedia. There is a niche internet hobby where people modify the html of these boxes to make alternate timeline wikiboxes. My brother and his friends are really into it, so I made this chrome extension to help them.

Features:

  • Right click on an element to change it's color easily (great for borders below portraits on election boxes)
  • Select a range of text and change it's color easily with right click
  • Election map creation tool in the Options menu
  • Automatically calculate the popular vote, seat total, and percentage for an election map
  • Sliders for each state to set how split the vote was, adjust popular vote percentage accordingly.
  • Save and load map SVG files to edit later
  • Find and replace text on a wikipedia page (case sensitive)
  • A clear visited links button in the right click menu that resets all link styles.
