README

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.

Installation

AnkiWeb

The easiest way to install Pop-up Dictionary is through AnkiWeb.

Manual installation

Make sure you have the latest version of Anki 2.1 installed. Earlier releases (e.g. found in various Linux distros) do not support .ankiaddon packages.
Download the latest .ankiaddon package from the releases tab (you might need to click on Assets below the description to reveal the download links)
From Anki's main window, head to Tools → Add-ons
Drag-and-drop the .ankiaddon package onto the add-ons list
Restart Anki
