Wikipedia Plus

Utilities to improve the user experience of Wikipedia.org for avid users.

What is Wikipedia Plus?

'Wikipedia Plus' is a Chrome extension designed to enhance the user experience on Wikipedia.org. Distinct from other extensions, it only makes minimal changes and preserves the original appearance of the website. Key features include previewing internal Wikipedia entries, transforming section titles into in-page links, and allowing users to enlarge images on hover with an adjustable zoom level. Wikipedia Plus holds user privacy to high esteem, does not store or share browsing history, and is open-source. Despite being designed for Wikipedia, it's not officially endorsed by the Wikimedia Foundation.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Wikipedia Plus supplements Wikipedia.org's existing web interface with some convenient behaviors I always wanted myself.

Unlike other extensions which aggressively modify or interfere with the Wikipedia website look and feel, this extension respects the original Wikipedia design and makes minimal changes. I believe that the most empowering tools are invisible.

Features:

show short text snippets for Wikipedia's internal entries when hover
turn section titles into in-page links for easier bookmarking and sharing particular sections
enlarge images when hover
- zoom level is adjustable
- adjusted enlarged image placement for right-to-left language pages

This is an open-source software. Check out the source at: https://github.com/falcondai/chrome-ext-wikipedia

Looks great with MinervaNeue theme, especially with page zoomed to 150 percent. Dark mode would be nice.

Personally, I'd really like to see Multilingual Support for this Extension asap, please. Once again, thank you all so much! Amen!
