Wikipedia Preview/ja

ウィキペディア・プレビュー（Wikipedia Preview）は、皆さんがあちこちのウェブサイトでわからない単語や熟語にぶつかったとき、ウィキペディアに載っている文脈を提供できるようにします. 読者がリンクにカーソルを合わせると、ポップアップカードが出てウィキペディアから抽出した短い説明が読めるようになります. この機能自体はJavaScript のスタンダローン要素としてあらゆるウェブサイトに対応し、WordPress 用プラグインやR パッケージ用のR マークダウンの解説文書やウェブサイトで採用できます.

背景
読者がウェブ上を見て周り、複数のハイパーリンクを経由し、特定のウェブサイトに出入りする場合には、最初に何を読もうとしていたのか、簡単にわからなくなってしまいがちです. コンテンツを提供するサイトなら、自分たちの掲載内容を読者に読んで反応をもらい理解してほしいのですが、わざわざ文脈の情報をよそのサイトに探しに行ってほしいわけではありません. ウィキペディア・プレビューはコンテンツ提供者が抱えるこの問題の - ウェブサイトでもウェブアプリでも - 解決策となり、これを使う読者はコンテンツ提供者が用意したモバイル環境の属性を超え、ウィキペディアの掲載内容をビジュアルでコンパクトな情報として手に入れることができます.

The feature on Wikipedia was created to solve the problem of context switching for desktop readers. This feature extends that functionality to external 3rd party sites. 第1フェーズにはモバイル版を先行させて新興市場の読者が中心のパートナーと協働し、ユーザ体験を組み上げます.

About Wikipedia Preview
Wikipedia Preview would allow Wikimedia project content available as contextual information on 3rd party sites. The feature will not be restricted to only showing the first sentences of a Wikipedia article, it will be as diverse as showing information from sister projects which could be images, definitions or even reading much more of an article directly on the content provider’s website.

This feature is not new. It was discussed when page previews launched in 2018. Internal staff and volunteers have created similar functionality in chrome extensions, slack integrations and wordpress plugins in their personal capacity as volunteers.

The Inuka team is taking on this work as one of the ways to expose our project content to readers in emerging markets. We see this product as a way of moving away from the traditional notion of single monolithic articles and moving towards more modular and contextual learning. Wikipedia Preview on partner websites would allow their readers to gain context while reading their pages and:


 * Help people gain contextual knowledge from Wikipedia without necessarily clicking through to Wikipedia
 * Learn more on Wikipedia with the option being available to read more on Wikipedia

Goal

 * Increase reach of Wikipedia content in Emerging Markets as part of the goal to become the essential infrastructure of free knowledge
 * Partner with sites in emerging markets whose readers would benefit from contextual knowledge from Wikipedia
