Wikalong bookmarklets

If you don't know what Wikalong is, then check out the links lower down on this page.

If you want to start using Wikalong, you may like to install one of the Bookmarklets below, or Mozilla users may prefer the FirefoxExtension.

Bookmarklets

Right-click on a bookmarklet to add it to your favourites (Internet Explorer), bookmarks (Mozilla), or minitools (Konqueror). The two recommended bookmarklets are in bold.

  • Wikalong Sidebar: Shows the Wikalong for the current page in a closeable sideframe.
    Wikalong Sidebar (Not in Mozilla)
    Wikalong Sidebar (Mozilla version)
  • Wikalong Popup: Pops up the Wikalong for the current page in a new window. (You need this one if the page rejects framesets.)
  • Wikalong Popup
  • Old bookmarklet 4: Show Wikalong for current page in new sideframe (Mozilla version)
  • Old bookmarklet 3: Popup Wikalong split with current page in new window (has stopped working in Konqueror!)
  • Old bookmarklet 1: Open Wikalong for current page in this window
  • When you are next on a webpage and want to see what other members of the public have said about it, just open one of the bookmarklets, and you should be redirected to the corresponding Wikalong page. (If the page is empty, then the first comments can be yours!)

    Note: Some websites (example), if loaded in a child frame, will use Javascript to detect and automatically replace the frameset. For these sites, Bookmarklets 3-5 (Sidebar) will not work, so use Bookmarklet 1 or 2 instead (Popup).

    Also note: Due to Javascript security, the sidebar or popup created by the Bookmarklet will not update when you browse to new pages. Bookmarklets must be invoked separately for each page you visit (so put them somewhere easy to reach!).
