LinkMaker lets editors create Wikipedia links without leaving the editor. Link any text to linkmaker (no protocol) and the plugin automatically points the front-end link to the matching article on Wikipedia. It ships with lightweight JavaScript and CSS that only runs on the front-end when needed.
- Gutenberg-friendly workflow
- Zero configuration
- Keeps links that already point to GitHub untouched
