WikipediaCalls filter

Simple tagging for Wikipedia Links. Filter is aware of the current language of the session and points as a default to the same idiomatic Wikipedia.

Installation

• deploy in <moodle_install>/filter

Tagging content for linking

Direct tagging

Tag a word apending [WP] will provide a direct link to that article in Wikipedia when published. Example :

   	Ethnomethodology[WP]

(not working - need more work) to tag a sentence or expression, use insecable spaces to separate words (Ctrl+Maj+Esp in most situations) within the locution. Example :

   	Yoshua[^s]Bar-Hillel[WP]

Indirect tagging

To point a distinct article than what the tagged word whould point to, extend the [WP] tagging with an additional parameter. Separator is | (pipe). Example :

     Ethnological[WP|Ethnology]

Pointing another language

You may use a third parameter to change the idiomatic space of the Wikipedia response. Example :

     Cheese[WP|Fromage|fr]
