Wikipedia Preview/de

Die Wikipedia-Vorschau erlaubt dir, zu Wörtern und Sätzen Inhalte aus der Wikipedia bereitzustellen. Sie zeigt ein Popup mit einer kurzen Wikipedia-Zusammenfassung, wenn ein Leser mit der Maus über einen Link geht. Sie ist für jede Website als eine eigenständige JavaScript-Komponente, als [$wordpress WordPress-Plugin] und als R-Paket für die Verwendung mit R-Markdown-Dokumenten verfügbar.

Hintergrund
Wenn Leser in eine oder aus einer Webseite heraus mittels mehrerer Hyperlinks navigieren, können sie leicht den Zusammenhang mit ihrer Ausgangswebseite verlieren. Inhaltsseiten hätten es gern, dass ihre Leser ihren Inhalt lesen und sich mit ihm befassen und ihn verstehen, ohne dass sie die Kontextinformation anderweitig holen müssen. Die Wikipedia-Vorschau kann dieses Problem für die Inhalte-Provider lösen, indem sie Lesern prägnante und visuelle Information aus Wikipedia anbietet, und zwar innerhalb der mobilen Varianten des Inhalteanbieters, mobil oder als Web-App.

Die -Funktion wurde in Wikipedia geschaffen, um das Problem des Kontextwechsels für Desktop-Leser zu lösen. Diese Funktion erweitert die entsprechende Funktionalität auf Drittanbieter-Seiten. Die erste Phase konzentriert sich auf den Aufbau einer Mobilgeräte-basierten Erfahrung mit Partnern, deren primäre Leserschaft in Schwellenländern ist.

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
