Subscribe by EmailImprove your Wikipedia experience with Inline Article Viewer

Despite my criticisms of Wikipedia in the past, I still generally find the site an invaluable source of information and as a result, I link to Wikipedia pages all the time. But sometimes the problem can be that there are too many links to click on. Some of the links are worth following while others are just useless. If you’re in a hurry, how do you know where all the quality stuff is?
So yesterday when I found a Greasemonkey script called Inline Article Viewer, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. This script makes my Wikipedia surfing MUCH easier and faster.
Basically it inserts a small icon next to each link on a Wikipedia page and when you click on the icon, it opens that page in an inline frame. So without leaving the original page, you can view another Wikipedia page and decide if the new page is worth going to. If not, just shut it down. It’s like opening a time portal and sticking your head through to have a glimpse.

[...] Firefox with Greasemonkey only: Tunneling through Wikipedia can be pretty time-consuming, given the dense number of links that take you sideways and elsewhere. The Wikipedia Inline Article Viewer, a free Greasemonkey user script, helps you save time and find relevant information by providing a quick preview of linked articles on the same page as the one you’re browsing. The script places a small icon next to each article link that activates the pop-ins, but only on Wikipedia page—if that function could be extended to off-site links, it could move to the super-helpful category. As it is, it’s still a good way to find, or avoid, information on a great resource. Wikipedia Inline Article Viewer is a free download that works with Firefox and the Greasemonkey extension.

I use the navigation popups gadget, which is pretty much the same but (in my opinion) better. You have to be a registered user in order to use it though.
