<p>I would like to mention that this being my first plugin, it is heavily based on Matt Mullenweg’s Hello Dolly plugin. The facts are taken from Wikipedia and I’m planning to add more to the list soon.</p>
<p>This plugin ensures that all users who utilize this plugin can be updated with facts about WordPress.</p>

<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>This plugin offers two pieces: a popup, and a ‘card’, or a static poster, from Wikipedia or other wikis that operate on MediaWiki software.</p>
<h4>Adding popups</h4>
<p>To add a popup, while editing a post, surround your text with <code>[wikipopup]</code> shortcode. You can reference a language or a different source, if you’ve set one up.</p>
<p>For example:<br />
– <code>[wikipopup]WordPress[/wikipopup]</code> – Displays a popup from English Wikipedia about the article “WordPress”<br />
– <code>[wikipopup title="WordPress"]This is some text[/wikipopup]</code> – Displays a popup from English Wikipedia about the article “WordPress”, while the trigger text is ‘This is some text’<br />
– <code>[wikipopup title="WordPress" source="ext"]This is some text[/wikipopup]</code> – Displays a popup from the external source you’ve defined as “ext”, about the article “WordPress”, while the trigger text is ‘This is some text’</p>
<p>You can define sources in “Settings -> Wikilookup -> External wikis”.</p>
<h4>Adding cards</h4>
<p>To add a card, while editing a post, add a line with <code>[wikicard title="term"]</code>. You can reference a language or a different source, if you’ve set one up.</p>
<p>For example:<br />
– <code>[wikicard title="WordPress"]</code> – Displays a static card from English Wikipedia about the article “WordPress”.<br />
– <code>[wikicard title="WordPress" lang="es"]</code> – Displays a static card from Spanish Wikipedia about the article “WordPress”.<br />
– <code>[wikicard title="WordPress" source="ext"]</code> – Displays a static card from the external source you’ve defined as “ext”, about the article “WordPress”.</p>
<p>You can define sources in “Settings -> Wikilookup -> External wikis”.</p>
