Wikipedia language and a question

Lauraq · 06-11-2021, 02:32 PM

Hi

could you tell me which search string should I put in Look & Feel->Book Details to search on Wikipedia Italy?

And, why if I search, for example Woody Allen, a page opens with a Woody Allen who is not the actor, how can I always make the page open with all the existing Woody Allen?
Thank you

Search for "Woody Allen actor"

I recommend this plugin:

My customization:

The search for Wikipedia is:

Code:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search={author}

Changing the language in the URL should be enough:

Code:

https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=

For the other part, this is a search. You would need to use more a direct link to the author page. But, calibre encodes the value for a search and that probably won't work with a Wikipedia page.
