Website Configuration

2013-09-22T15:44:03Z

Admin: About "Use current"

[[File:WP-configure-sites-0.7b1.png | 500px | right | The list of websites which Wikipedia+ checks for matching pages]]
<big>Wikipedia+ uses a list of sites to search for alternative perspectives on the Wikipedia page. The default set of sites is easily customisable by removing/adding other sites.</big>

==Website Tab==
The options dialog has a Websites pane which lists the sites to consult for page suggestions. The higher the site is up the list, the earlier it is consulted for a page suggestion, so put your favourite sites highest on the list.

==Adding a New Website==
[[File:WP-add-new-site-0.7b.png | 500px | right | The GUI to add a new website]]
To add a website, click on the plus icon, and an empty dialog will appear to specify the new site's details, as shown on the right. You must give it a name and an access URL; all other properties are optional. The 'icon' field is for the URL of the sites favicon, and the 'shortcut key' refers to the letter which is underlined when the site suggestion appears on the notification. Maybe the easiest way to fill in this information is to browse to the site of interest and then click the "Use current" button, which will fill in the software's best guess at the details appropriate to that site.

==Removing a Website==
To remove a website, first select it by clicking on it then click on the orange cross icon.

==Editing an existing Website==
[[File:WP-add-edit-sites-0.7b.png | 500px | left | The website editing GUI]]
Most users will probably not need to edit sites much, though webmasters may find it helpful if they are [[WikipediaPlus_enabling_a_Website| enabling their site for Wikipedia+]]. To edit a website, either select it and click on the 'Edit' button, or just double click on it. This brings up the dialog shown on the right, in which the website's properties can be changed.

WikipediaPlus:Privacy policy

2013-09-11T23:48:43Z

Admin: Clarification

==Software==

'''WikipediaPlus stores no data about the sites you visit, neither on disk nor in RAM. It uses the minimum of data needed to do its job.'''

===How It Works===

# Wikipedia+ compares the URLs of new page requests with the [[WikipediaPlus_enabling_a_Website#Access_URLs | Access URL]]s of [[Website Configuration | preferred sites]] (which include wikipedia though the GUI doesn't show this). If the URL matches this pattern, then WikipediaPlus deduce the particular '{PageName}' you are browsing to and:
#* Cycles through your preferred sites and issues a HEAD request to each one in turn to a new URL that it forms by replacing '{PageName}' with the page name deduced the URL
# It also intercepts page loads and once the page title is available Wikipedia+ checks whether this matches the existing '{PageName}' deduced from the URL. If it is different it:
#* Cycles through your preferred sites and issues a HEAD request to each one in turn to a new URL that it forms by replacing '{PageName}' with the page name deduced from the page title
# The HTTP return code of these HEAD requests are checked. If this is <400, it attempts to notify the user
#* If the user has a matching Tab open, it makes a suggestion at the top of this tab. If this is in the background, it (optionally) also shows a notification

===Data Storage===
The addon stores 2 XML files, both in your Mozilla profile directory:
# <big>sites.xml</big>: The list of preferred websites to ask for page matches
# <big>pages.xml</big>: The list of pagenames to ignore
The contents of these files are accessible through the GUI.

===Future Plans===

Future versions of the software ''may'' collect more information, but will not do so in an effort to identify individual users. The focus would be on aggregating shared experience and use of the software in an effort to enhance its effectiveness at making helpful suggestions. Any data collection will be voluntary (an easy opt out will be provided) and will be announced on the software's [http://users.wikipediaplus.org/listinfo.cgi/wpusers-wikipediaplus.org mailing list] and [[download | download page]].

==Website==

This website counts accesses from the software's 'About' tab, via the URL. No personally identifying data is collected - the only data collected is the software version number and locale.

Localisation

2013-07-19T01:24:22Z

Admin: v1.1

Please [[contact| get in touch]] if you are a speaker of another language and wish to help localise the software.

== How To Add A Language ==
The software locale consists of two strings to describe the extension (''Name'' and ''Description''), plus the following 6 files, of total size about 15K.
* {{file|name=wikipediaPlus.dtd}}
* {{file|name=wikipediaPlus.properties}}
* {{file|name=options.dtd}}
* {{file|name=options.properties}}
* {{file|name=addEditSite.dtd}}
* {{file|name=addEditSite.properties}}

Around half of these files (the right-hand half) needs translating.

The '.properties' files are like this:
{|
|'''InternalName (Not translated)'''
|=
|'''Displayed Text (Needs translation)'''
|-
|Editing
|=
|Editing
|-
|Adding

==WikipediaPlus and the Semantic Web==

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_web Semantic Web] (web of meaning) is a successor to the WWW (web of text). The basic idea is, rather than having text, which humans process, data is have machine-readable so that computers can process it. Not only should this decrease barriers of human language between users (since computers could assist in translation), but computer-mediated queries could become possible, as opposed to simple text matching, as is still the case on modern search engines. W3C's semantic web language (RDF) associates each 'meaning' with a separate URI (web address).

The wide vocabulary and localisation of Wikipedia make it a natural candidate for a semantic web URIs, and Wikipedia+ is another step towards establishing them ''de facto'' as such. Currently, Wikipedia+ is designed for users of the WWW, and it simply issues an HTTP HEAD request to establish the presence or absence of a page with the required name/language combination. In the future, however, operations might not be so limited. For example, it could carry out a semantic query.

== XML File Formats ==

For a definition of the XML file used internally by Wikipedia+, to which it exports a list of sites, see the [http://www.wikipediaplus.org/downloads/WP-v1.0.xsd WP+ XML Schema].

== Input Welcome ==

Joint research proposals, interesting ideas and comments all welcome,
especially help porting the extension to alternative browsers.
Interested parties are invited to [[contact | get in touch]].

WikipediaPlus enabling a Website

2013-07-09T11:09:52Z

Admin: /* References */

<big>Wikipedia+ was designed for websites whose material complements the content on Wikipedia. This might be because it offers contrasting opinions, or simply because it contains more detail than is available on Wikipedia. Making such sites '''Wikipedia+ enabled''' will all your site to receive traffic from users of the software.</big>

==Requirements==
Making a site Wikipedia+ capable is a simple task as it doesn't require changing any existing pages. The main work needed, if your site already has pages of sufficient quality is deciding which wikipedia page(s) you wish to associate with them.

==Access URLs==
The ''access URL'' is the URL pattern by which Wikipedia+ can query your site. This is like an ordinary URL, but will contain the text ''{PageName}'' somewhere in it, e.g. <nowiki>http://www.example.com/wiki/{PageName}</nowiki>. This is requested by the browser add-in, with ''{PageName}'' replaced by the name of whichever Wikipedia page the user is visiting. This is how the software checks whether a page is available.

Remember that the path part of the access URL is case-specific, so check you have used the correct case if your Access URL is not functioning correctly.

===Multi-Language Sites===
Wikipedia+, like Wikipedia, supports multiple languages, so if a user browsing Spanish wikipedia, can configure it to suggest only Spanish language sites. If your websites supports multiple-languages, your Access URL should include the text ''{LangCode}'', which will be replaced by an ISO 639-1 language code, such as "en" for english. For example, <nowiki>http://www.example.com/{LangCode}/{PageName}</nowiki>.

===Implementation===
All the access URL has to do is to translate a request for a particular ''PageName'' either into a locally available page, or give a 404 error code if no such page exists. Your means of implementing this will depend on the technology which your site already uses.

====404 (Page Not Found) Status Codes====
The software will repeatedly query your site about the existance of pages as users browse Wikipedia. Your site must send an HTTP Error Code of 404 if it has no such page. Well-behaved software does this automatically, but this may be an issue if you are using IIS.<ref>https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18270</ref><ref>http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSend404Code</ref>

====General Method====
One simple method is to have an access URL of the form <nowiki>http://www.example.com/WP.php?page={PageName}</nowiki>, so that all incoming requests are served by a single script. This could read from a database of local page URL to match with wikipedia ''PageName''s. You may wish to use [http://www.RobinUpton.com/WP/WP-site-index.0.1.1.zip this simple site index script], which includes an editor if you wish to build it online.

====Mediawiki====
If you use mediawiki, you could use dedicated namespace (e.g. Wikipedia:) to maintain an easy correspondence between your site's pages and Wikipedia's pages. If you already have content, the fastest way to make your site Wikipedia+ enabled is to just add a redirect, so that /wiki/Wikipedia:Some_Wikipedia_URL contains <nowiki>#REDIRECT[[Your_Corresponding_Local_URL]]</nowiki>.

==Associating <nowiki>{PageName}</nowiki>s with Website Pages==
With the technical implementation sorted, the last step to enable your site for Wikipedia+ is to add the content. i.e. To associate particular Wikipedia ''PageName''s with particular pages on your site. The only golden rule on this matter is to do so in a way that improves the user experience. The better the users' experience at your site, the more likely they are to follow a suggestion to go there when one pops up, and the more likely they are to recommend your site to their friends. So an inclination to '''quality over quantity''' is good - a few really good pages result in a good user experience, many not so good pages results in a not so good user experience - one that could even lead to users [[Website Configuration#Website_Removal | remove your website]] from their list. Different styles of site may be well served by different approaches:

===Page Replacement===
''Example: http://www.wikispooks.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Patrick_Haseldine '' 
If your site has encyclopaedic content, page replacement is effective for well finished pages with a narrative structure, which can function as drop-in replacements for Wikipedia pages.

''Example: http://UnwelcomeGuests.net/WP:Assassination_of_John_F._Kennedy'' 
An alternative use is for sites which have content that is highly relevant to a Wikiedia page, but which for whatever reason cannot be linked in from Wikipedia.

===Portal Style===
''Example: https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Conspiracy_theory'' 
Portal pages are often effective if you have a bunch of documents or links on a subject, but no narrative structure to tie them together or to introduce them. Some wikipedia pages give a fairly reasonable treatment of a topic, but omit one or two crucial aspects, in which case, providing suitable links to these is an effective way to assist the reader. A single paragraph may be enough to explain what is missing from the Wikipedia account, and allow the reader to navigate to important material which they could otherwise not easily find.

''Example: https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Gaza_War'' 
Portal pages need not have (m)any links to external sites. They can be effective by providing a quick summary tailored especially for Wikipedia readers, to introduce a replacement page.

Another case in which a portal page is effective is if your website looks at material in a lot more depth that Wikipedia. In this case, your entry point may be a single Wikipedia ''PageName'' that is a superficial treatment of something your site looks at in more depth, over multiple pages. In this case, although a page replacement might work well, you may wish to make a single 'index' page that offers easy navigation to your several pages of more specialised content.

==Informing your Audience==
[[file:logo-32.png|right|"Wikipedia+ Enabled" Logo]]
Once your site is Wikipedia+ enabled, you need to tell people of it so that they can [[Website Configuration |add your site to their list of preferred sites]]. Announcing it over a mailing list will work for site members, but not random browsers, so adding a Wikipedia+ icon linking here is a good way to tell the world that your site is Wikipedia+ ready. You may also wish to add your access URL to the list below:

== How To Add A Language ==
The software locale consists of two strings to describe the extension (''Name'' and ''Description''), plus the following 6 files, of total size about 15K.
* {{file|name=wikipediaPlus.dtd}}
* {{file|name=wikipediaPlus.properties}}
* {{file|name=options.dtd}}
* {{file|name=options.properties}}
* {{file|name=addEditSite.dtd}}
* {{file|name=addEditSite.properties}}

Around half of these files (the right-hand half) needs translating.

Developing Wikipedia Plus

2013-07-06T01:53:23Z

Admin: /* WikipediaPlus and the Semantic Web */

Wikipedia+ is fully functional, but has yet only a few thousand users (estimated).

==WikipediaPlus and the Semantic Web==

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_web Semantic Web] (web of meaning) is a successor to the WWW (web of text). The basic idea is, rather than having text, which humans process, data is have machine-readable so that computers can process it. Not only should this decrease barriers of human language between users (since computers could assist in translation), but computer-mediated queries could become possible, as opposed to simple text matching, as is still the case on modern search engines. W3C's semantic web language (RDF) associates each 'meaning' with a separate URI (web address).

The wide vocabulary and localisation of Wikipedia make it a natural candidate for a semantic web URIs, and Wikipedia+ is another step towards establishing them ''de facto'' as such. Currently, Wikipedia+ is designed for users of the WWW, and it simply issues an HTTP HEAD request to establish the presence or absence of a page with the required name/language combination. In the future, however, operations might not be so limited. For example, it could carry out a semantic query.

== XML File Formats ==

For a definition of the XML file used internally by Wikipedia+, to which it exports a list of sites, see the [http://www.wikipediaplus.org/downloads/WP-v1.0.xsd WP+ XML Schema].

== Input Welcome ==

Joint research proposals, interesting ideas and comments all welcome,
especially help porting the extension to alternative browsers.
Interested parties are invited to [[contact | get in touch]].

WikipediaPlus enabling a Website

Admin: Page Replacement example

WikipediaPlus enabling a Website

2013-07-05T23:30:50Z

Admin: Explain about 404s

<big>Wikipedia+ was designed for websites whose material complements the content on Wikipedia. This might be because it offers contrasting opinions, or simply because it contains more detail than is available on Wikipedia. Making such sites '''Wikipedia+ enabled''' will all your site to receive traffic from users of the software.</big>

==Requirements==
Making a site Wikipedia+ capable is a simple task as it doesn't require changing any existing pages. The main work needed, if your site already has pages of sufficient quality is deciding which wikipedia page(s) you wish to associate with them.

==Access URLs==
The ''access URL'' is the URL pattern by which Wikipedia+ can query your site. This is like an ordinary URL, but will contain the text ''{PageName}'' somewhere in it, e.g. <nowiki>http://www.example.com/wiki/{PageName}</nowiki>. This is requested by the browser add-in, with ''{PageName}'' replaced by the name of whichever Wikipedia page the user is visiting. This is how the software checks whether a page is available.

Remember that the path part of the access URL is case-specific, so check you have used the correct case if your Access URL is not functioning correctly.

===Multi-Language Sites===
Wikipedia+, like Wikipedia, supports multiple languages, so if a user browsing Spanish wikipedia, can configure it to suggest only Spanish language sites. If your websites supports multiple-languages, your Access URL should include the text ''{LangCode}'', which will be replaced by an ISO 639-1 language code, such as "en" for english. For example, <nowiki>http://www.example.com/{LangCode}/{PageName}</nowiki>.

===Implementation===
All the access URL has to do is to translate a request for a particular ''PageName'' either into a locally available page, or give a 404 error code if no such page exists. Your means of implementing this will depend on the technology which your site already uses.

====404 (Page Not Found) Status Codes====
The software will repeatedly query your site about the existance of pages as users browse Wikipedia. Your site must send an HTTP Error Code of 404 if it has no such page. Well-behaved software does this automatically, but this may be an issue if you are using IIS.<ref>https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18270</ref><ref>http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSend404Code</ref>

====General Method====
One simple method is to have an access URL of the form <nowiki>http://www.example.com/WP.php?page={PageName}</nowiki>, so that all incoming requests are served by a single script. This could read from a database of local page URL to match with wikipedia ''PageName''s. You may wish to use [http://www.RobinUpton.com/WP/WP-site-index.0.1.1.zip this simple site index script], which includes an editor if you wish to build it online.

====Mediawiki====
If you use mediawiki, you could use dedicated namespace (e.g. Wikipedia:) to maintain an easy correspondence between your site's pages and Wikipedia's pages. If you already have content, the fastest way to make your site Wikipedia+ enabled is to just add a redirect, so that /wiki/Wikipedia:Some_Wikipedia_URL contains <nowiki>#REDIRECT[[Your_Corresponding_Local_URL]]</nowiki>.

==Associating <nowiki>{PageName}</nowiki>s with Website Pages==
With the technical implementation sorted, the last step to enable your site for Wikipedia+ is to add the content. i.e. To associate particular Wikipedia ''PageName''s with particular pages on your site. The only golden rule on this matter is to do so in a way that improves the user experience. The better the users' experience at your site, the more likely they are to follow a suggestion to go there when one pops up, and the more likely they are to recommend your site to their friends. So an inclination to '''quality over quantity''' is good - a few really good pages result in a good user experience, many not so good pages results in a not so good user experience - one that could even lead to users [[Website Configuration#Website_Removal | remove your website]] from their list. Different styles of site may be well served by different approaches:

===Page Replacement===
''Example: '''NEEDED!''' '' 
If your site has encyclopaedic content, page replacement is effective for well finished pages with a narrative structure and so can function as drop-in replacements for Wikipedia pages.

''Example: http://UnwelcomeGuests.net/WP:Assassination_of_John_F._Kennedy'' 
An alternative use is for sites which have content that is highly relevant to a Wikiedia page, but which for one reason or another cannot be linked in from Wikipedia.

===Portal Style===
''Example: https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Conspiracy_theory'' 
Portal pages are often effective if you have a bunch of documents or links on a subject, but no narrative structure to tie them together or to introduce them. Some wikipedia pages give a fairly reasonable treatment of a topic, but omit one or two crucial aspects, in which case, providing suitable links to these is an effective way to assist the reader. A single paragraph may be enough to explain what is missing from the Wikipedia account, and allow the reader to navigate to important material which they could otherwise not easily find.

''Example: https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Gaza_War'' 
Portal pages need not have (m)any links to external sites. They can be effective by providing a quick summary tailored especially for Wikipedia readers, to introduce a replacement page.

Another case in which a portal page is effective is if your website looks at material in a lot more depth that Wikipedia. In this case, your entry point may be a single Wikipedia ''PageName'' that is a superficial treatment of something your site looks at in more depth, over multiple pages. In this case, although a page replacement might work well, you may wish to make a single 'index' page that offers easy navigation to your several pages of more specialised content.

==Informing your Audience==
[[file:logo-32.png|right|"Wikipedia+ Enabled" Logo]]
Once your site is Wikipedia+ enabled, you need to tell people of it so that they can [[Website Configuration |add your site to their list of preferred sites]]. Announcing it over a mailing list will work for site members, but not random browsers, so adding a Wikipedia+ icon linking here is a good way to tell the world that your site is Wikipedia+ ready. You may also wish to add your access URL to the list below:

WikipediaPlus enabling a Website

2013-07-05T23:20:14Z

Admin: Add about case

<big>Wikipedia+ was designed for websites whose material complements the content on Wikipedia. This might be because it offers contrasting opinions, or simply because it contains more detail than is available on Wikipedia. Making such sites '''Wikipedia+ enabled''' will all your site to receive traffic from users of the software.</big>

==Requirements==
Making a site Wikipedia+ capable is a simple task as it doesn't require changing any existing pages. The main work needed, if your site already has pages of sufficient quality is deciding which wikipedia page(s) you wish to associate with them.

==Choosing an Access URL==
The first step is to choose a URL pattern by which Wikipedia+ can query the site. This is like an ordinary URL, but will contain the text ''{PageName}'' somewhere in it, e.g. <nowiki>http://www.example.com/wiki/{PageName}</nowiki>. This is requested by the browser add-in, with ''{PageName}'' replaced by the name of whichever Wikipedia page the user is visiting. This is how the software checks whether a page is available. Remember that the path part of the access URL is case-specific, so check you have used the correct case if your Access URL is not functioning correctly.

===Multi-Language Sites===
Wikipedia+ supports multiple languages, so if the user is browsing Spanish wikipedia, he can configure it only to suggest Spanish language websites. If your websites is multi-language, your Access URL should include the text ''{LangCode}'', which will be replaced by an ISO 639-1 language code, such as "en" for english. For example, <nowiki>http://www.example.com/{LangCode}/{PageName}</nowiki>.

==Implementing the Access URL==
All the access URL has to do is to translate a request for a particular ''PageName'' either into a locally available page, or give a 404 (Page Not Found) code if no such page is available. Your means of implementing this will depend on the technology which your site already uses.

===General Method===
One simple method is to have an access URL of the form <nowiki>http://www.example.com/WP.php?page={PageName}</nowiki>, so that all incoming requests are served by a single script. This could read from a database of local page URL to match with wikipedia ''PageName''s. You may wish to use [http://www.RobinUpton.com/WP/WP-site-index.0.1.1.zip this simple site index script], which includes an editor if you wish to build it online.

===Wikis only Method===
If your site is a wiki, you could use dedicated namespace (e.g. Wikipedia:) to maintain an easy correspondence between your site's pages and Wikipedia's pages. If you already have content, the fastest way to make your site Wikipedia+ enabled is to just add a redirect, so that /wiki/Wikipedia:Some_Wikipedia_URL contains <nowiki>#REDIRECT[[Your_Corresponding_Local_URL]]</nowiki>.

==Associating <nowiki>{PageName}</nowiki>s with Website Pages==
With the technical implementation sorted, the last step to enable your site for Wikipedia+ is to add the content. i.e. To associate particular Wikipedia ''PageName''s with particular pages on your site. The only golden rule on this matter is to do so in a way that improves the user experience. The better the users' experience at your site, the more likely they are to follow a suggestion to go there when one pops up, and the more likely they are to recommend your site to their friends. So an inclination to '''quality over quantity''' is good - a few really good pages result in a good user experience, many not so good pages results in a not so good user experience - one that could even lead to users [[Website Configuration#Website_Removal | remove your website]] from their list. Different styles of site may be well served by different approaches:

===Page Replacement===
''Example: '''NEEDED!''' '' 
If your site has encyclopaedic content, page replacement is effective for well finished pages with a narrative structure and so can function as drop-in replacements for Wikipedia pages.

''Example: http://UnwelcomeGuests.net/WP:Assassination_of_John_F._Kennedy'' 
An alternative use is for sites which have content that is highly relevant to a Wikiedia page, but which for one reason or another cannot be linked in from Wikipedia.

===Portal Style===
''Example: https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Conspiracy_theory'' 
Portal pages are often effective if you have a bunch of documents or links on a subject, but no narrative structure to tie them together or to introduce them. Some wikipedia pages give a fairly reasonable treatment of a topic, but omit one or two crucial aspects, in which case, providing suitable links to these is an effective way to assist the reader. A single paragraph may be enough to explain what is missing from the Wikipedia account, and allow the reader to navigate to important material which they could otherwise not easily find.

''Example: https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Gaza_War'' 
Portal pages need not have (m)any links to external sites. They can be effective by providing a quick summary tailored especially for Wikipedia readers, to introduce a replacement page.

Another case in which a portal page is effective is if your website looks at material in a lot more depth that Wikipedia. In this case, your entry point may be a single Wikipedia ''PageName'' that is a superficial treatment of something your site looks at in more depth, over multiple pages. In this case, although a page replacement might work well, you may wish to make a single 'index' page that offers easy navigation to your several pages of more specialised content.

==Informing your Audience==

Once your site is Wikipedia+ enabled, you need to tell people of it so that they can [[Website Configuration |add your site to their list of preferred sites]]. Announcing it over a mailing list will work for site members, but not random browsers, so adding a Wikipedia+ icon linking here is a good way to tell the world that your site is Wikipedia+ ready. You may also wish to add your access URL to the list below:
