At the recent Wikipedia hackathon, I had the privilege of meeting User:YuviPanda. While taking with him, I came to know that he had writen a Google Chrome plugin. User: Yuvi Panda has come up with a great extension which will help discoverability of Wikipedia articles. Since I don't recall mention of this on the list (probably done about a year ago or so?) I'm taking the liberty the liberty of re-introducing it in India in-en and my lists.

YenWikipedia is an extension for both Chrome and Firefox downloadable from:

- https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/yenwikipedia (creator - yuvipanda)
-https://addas.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yenikipedia (creator - arunmozhi)

What does it do? When you use Google search and results turn up Wikipedia articles, the add-on adds interwiki links for that article in the language of your choice.

The setting of language for the inter-wiki choice is done while setting up the options in chrome and can be also changed later on. The firefox extension goes one better- it permits more than one language inter-wiki to be chosen. In my configuration, my Chrome worked but I was unable to find out how to adjust the languages in the Firefox.

That apart. it is an excellent idea and it really helps you discover relevant Wikipedia articles in Indian languages.

Warm regards,
