Easy Wikipedia API script
Easy to install and use script for getting content from Wikipedia. The script uses a word, chosen from you to search, get the article for it and show it in a tooltip or dialog window on your site. The script is optimized for people, movies and bands search, but also you can use it for every kind of keyword, you can see a live preview of the script here

You may also can add a category to get more specific results. To use the script you just need to add <span class=”easy_wiki”> and </span> tags around the word you want to get info about.
In order to speed up the work process, the Easy Wikipedia API script uses cache and every search is kept locally on your server for a certain period of time.
You can choose to use a localized version of wikipedia, like French or German, thus the retrieved content is taken from the articles written in French or German language
A css styling is used for the design and its quite easy to change the color and overall look.
