3 text checks: OK. Works well with Chrome Windows 11. Need more time to be fully tested: interresting and usefull experimental extension.

Excellent plug-in to make it easier to use WIkipedia as a source... I can see the usage of Wikidata and citations and doing something like tools Scholia to make it possible to find * latest research articles on the subject wd:P921 * latest documents from parlament on the subject wd:P921 * have the same functionality as Wikidata:Entity_Explosion and use Wikidata to find more related sources

This is exactly what I want AI to do. Reduce the amount of time and effort used up on tasks that I am constantly repeating that are too complex or dynamic to easily automate otherwise.
