wikiblurb's Introduction

Wikiblurb.js

A jQuery Plugin for Wikipedia and Other Wikis. All you have to do is call it on an element and Wikiblurb will populate that element with data from a wiki...

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    
    $('#article').wikiblurb();
    
    $('#otherWikiArticle').wikiblurb({
        wikiURL: "http://fallout.wikia.com/",
        apiPath: '',
        section: 0,
        page: 'Fallout',
        removeLinks: false,	    
        type: 'text',
        customSelector: '',
        callback: function(){ 
            console.log('Data loaded...');
        }
              
    });
    
});
</script>
