The dark Wikipedia theme or Wikipedia Night mode changes the background of the Wikipedia website to dark and the font to light.
A dark theme for Wikipedia turns on / off by clicking on the extension icon. It is convenient to use at night or in poor lighting, helps your eyes read text more comfortably.
This isn’t really good as I hoped for. I use dark mode in nearly everything else, but this one is bonkers.
This is not a dark mode, but rather a gray mode which lacks contract.
Does what is says. Beyond that, the font color being a darker off white and the background being a lighter grayish black make the combo incredibly difficult to read.
It’s just what I was looking for, I’ve tried several “Dark mode” extensions, but was always disappointed when I used wikipedia as you could obviously tell the entire page was just inverted; with the UI looking very wack.
The only fix I would like to see is the text of the ‘Word count’ option being changed to white ( both for when it’s just a pop-up, and when you want it visible as you write ), as it is kept as grey/black making it hard and sometimes unnoticeable to see, but other than that, everything is chill.
I love this new look. Currently, I haven’t been experiencing any problems with wikiwand extension (since my laptop is more than 10 years old and usually hangs by adding new stuff). simply, it’s awesome! Also, the layout is very modern and useful (for the kinda blackish theme) Is pretty good as a base but if you’ve got basic knowledge of CSS I’d REALLY recommend pairing it with Stylus or a similar CSS injection plugin so you can hide things like Wikiwand’s Article Header Images (which are often poorly chosen), Hide irrelevant branding and button clutter in the header menu, and hide the giant inserted ads and over-stimulating imagery in the Discover More section.
Be aware that your search activity is being tracked by this plugin.
I just discovered this plugin is sending redirects to:
– http://www.smartredirect.de/redir/clickGate.php and
– api.smartredirect.de/api_v2/CheckForAffiliateUniversalsearch.php
…when clicking Google search result links.
These links can be observed using Fiddler and Chrome Dev Tools to reveal the redirect requests.
I only noticed this because the clickGate.php was showing “There was an error during the redirection.” and the redirect was no longer completing.
Otherwise, I may not have noticed this redirect happening at all. The extension script files responsible for these redirects are as follows:
– \eiomngfcbbapjpfnhniipcnhaenhohfg\1.0.14_1\universal_search\content.universal.js
– \eiomngfcbbapjpfnhniipcnhaenhohfg\1.0.14_1\universal_search\background.universal.js
It does not appear to do the click redirect consistently. I haven’t identified the conditions that would result in this redirect yet.
it didn’t work right
Не работает
ca marche donc c’est bon
После обновления от 18 августа 2020 года стало неудобно читать, ввиду слишком светлого серого фона.
Tries to read data from aliexpress.com – why would that be required for a wikipedia extension, besides data theft? Avoid.
Can you please explain why there is permission to view/edit aliexpress.com for this extension?
kötü
The text are turned white but the math formulas remain black, which is barely visible in the dark background.
Le parole linkate non si possono distinguere in quanto sono uguali al testo, ci sono alcuni bug da migliorare nella ricerca e nel refresh della pagina. Per il resto tutto ok.
i link in blu sono uguali al resto delle parole rendendoli irriconoscibili ed alcuni titoli,nelle finestre sulla destra,sono evidenziati in bianco.
Все чудесно!
Единственное что заметил это _некоторые_ флаги коверкает. Это хорошо видно тут:

Wikipedia can be a very useful tool when studying, but the bright background can be particularly annoying when studying chemistry at 2 am, so thanks for this great extension. Only complaint is that it flickers off when clicking a Wikipedia link, for example if I am on the “Cat” Wikipedia page w/ the extension on, if I hit the reference to the “Mammal” page, it flickers back to light mode for a second. Not a big issue, and I still am grateful for this tool you have made. Cheers!
Contrairement à ce qu’on peut lire, ça fonctionne ! Il suffit effectivement de cliquer une fois sur l’icone “W” en haut à droite de la fenêtre.
Je ne mets que 4 étoile, parce qu’il y a malheureusement quelques conflits avec la typo d’origine de Wikipédia, ce qui rend parfois certaines zones totalement noires.
Hyperlinks are no longer highlighted in color. Everything is plain text now.
Отличное расширение, но надо бы цвета ссылок поменять..
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Thank you SOOOOOO much Dev! 🙂
j’ai installé et mis wikipédia, absolument aucun changement.
Alors j’ai éteint chrome et j’ai rallumé puis je suis retourné sur wikipédia…
absolument aucun changement.
Alors j’ai redémarré le PC et je suis retourné sur wikipédia…
absolument aucun changement.
une étoile, pour la perte de temps, et aussi parce qu’il n’y a pas de possibilité d’en mettre aucune… et c’est bien payé -_-‘
Pros:
1. Does what it says it will.
2. Doesn’t require access to all websites like some other extensions.
Cons:
1. Opens another extension page trying to advertise it when installing and updating the extension.
2. Hyperlinks look like all the other text on the page. This is a pretty weird oversight.
Lovely idea for an extension, but the colors used are not high-contrast enough to read comfortably.
