Wikify Automatically Adds Wikipedia Hyperlinks Into Text
Ever wanted to inject Wikipedia links into some lines of text? Found it tedious? Here comes Wikify that’ll let you inject Wikipedia links into text automagically.
Wikify is a web-service allowing everybody to enrich their arbitrary text with links to Wikipedia.org. In other words, it makes hypertext from your plain text. You’ll need to put some text in the box provided and then hit the Start Wikify’ button. The tool will then go through your text and look for words that have corresponding Wikipedia pages. You can then copy the html code that has hyperlinks injected into it and then use them as you wish.
However, Wikify is not perfect. It will not come to know what you mean when a word has different meaning and variations. For instance, it will link to Internetand Explorerseparately when you wanted a link to Internet Explorer the browser.
But still, it should come in handy for those weird projects, where you might want to give Wikipedia some serious link love.
