<h2>Overview</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Indie Wiki Buddy provides a suite of features to help you discover independent wikis and improve your general
|
|
|
|
|
wiki reading experience.
|
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
|
When you visit a wiki on a large, corporate-run wiki host, this extension can notify or automatically redirect
|
|
|
|
|
you to quality independent wikis when they're available.
|
2024-04-28 02:59:22 +00:00
|
|
|
Search results in Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Ecosia, Kagi, Qwant, Startpage, Yahoo!, and Yandex can also be filtered,
|
2023-11-05 09:53:39 +00:00
|
|
|
replacing non-independent wikis with links to independent counterpart (or hiding them completely).
|
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
2024-02-23 08:38:58 +00:00
|
|
|
We currently redirect from Fandom, Fextralife, and Neoseeker wikis to independent counterparts.
|
2023-11-05 09:53:39 +00:00
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
|
Indie Wiki Buddy also supports <a href="https://breezewiki.com/">BreezeWiki</a>, a separate service that renders
|
|
|
|
|
Fandom wikis without ads or bloat.
|
|
|
|
|
This helps give you a more enjoyable reading experience when an independent wiki isn't available.
|
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
|
All these features can be toggled on or off, and you can set your preferences per-wiki as well. You're in full
|
|
|
|
|
control!
|
|
|
|

2023-11-05 09:53:39 +00:00

|
When this option is enabled, you will receive a desktop notification whenever you are
|
|
|
|
|
automatically redirected to either an indie wiki or <a href="https://breezewiki.com/">BreezeWiki</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
This is on by default.
|
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
|
If you aren't getting notifications when this is enabled, check your operating system's notification

|

|
settings to ensure that your browser is allowed to send notifications.

|
2023-11-05 09:53:39 +00:00
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
|
By default, Indie Wiki Buddy will keep users within the same language
|
|
|
|
|
(e.g. only redirecting Spanish Fandom wikis to Spanish indie wikis).
|
|
|
|
|
However, multilingual speakers may want to also use the many independent English wikis that are available.
|
2024-01-07 00:44:14 +00:00
|
|
|
Enabling this option will redirect from non-English Fandom wikis
|
2023-11-05 09:53:39 +00:00
|
|
|
to independent English wikis when one isn't available in the same language.
|
2024-01-07 00:44:14 +00:00
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately this feature does not currently work for Fextralife wikis.

<br />
|
|
|
|
|
By default, filtering is enabled for all search engines.
|
2024-04-28 02:59:22 +00:00
|
|
|
Filtering is done based on the user's selected settings for each wiki.
|
|
|
|
|
The default filtering setting for all wikis is to replace
|
|
|
|
|
non-indie search results with buttons linking to indie counterparts.
|
2024-04-23 05:18:42 +00:00

|

|
|
The current supported search engines are
|
|
|
|
|
Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Ecosia, Kagi, Qwant, Startpage, Yahoo!, and Yandex.

|
|
When this option is enabled,
|
|
|
|
|
a banner will be inserted at the top of search engine results when Indie Wiki Buddy
|
|
|
|
|
has hidden results from Fandom, Fextralife, or Neoseeker wikis.
|
|
|
|
|
This banner also lets you re-show the hidden results if you wish.

2024-04-23 05:18:42 +00:00
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
|
By default, Indie Wiki Buddy will re-order the results page on Google to move indie wiki results to the top,
|
|
|
|
|
if they are further down the first page of results. This allows you to find the pages you're looking for on indie wikis
|
|
|
|
|
quicker.
|
|
|
|
|
<br /><br />
|
|
|

This feature is currently only available for Google, as it can be complex to maintain reliably.
