For some reason this widget just seemed to stop working months ago. It will not load any page period, I have to open up wikipedia in my browser

Drew February 18, 2013 11:24am

Glad to see the update, but it still isn’t displaying articles!

Wolfgang February 5, 2013 10:06am

Not working on OS 10.5.8

Drew January 5, 2013 1:00pm

0.9.6 has been inoperative for months on Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion. Change in the Wikipedia API?

Sad Wiki User December 31, 2012 7:16pm

The .9.6 version does not work with Snow Leopard. It just starts up the spinning wheel that turns and turns. :( Why?

wikiwitch December 7, 2012 9:59am

randomfunction works , but doesn t show up articles.. maybe a problem with proxies ( using privoxy )

wikiwitch December 7, 2012 9:58am

don t know why but version 0.9.6 doesnt work ( anymore ?)

Ben Hudson December 2, 2012 10:28pm

This app doesn’t work. The wheel just spins.

Trane Francks November 25, 2012 11:06pm

Hi.

I’ve noticed that lately the 0.9.6 widget is not displaying pages on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. It seems to have broken a few months back. The title updates to the new content, but the spinning gear just goes around and around.

Cheers,

trane

Help! This massively-useful-for-being-a-smartarse-in-the-office widget doesn’t work any more! Please fix it. Please.

I miss this widget. I used to use it all the time.

FYI - the Wikipedia widget no longer seems to work on my C2D MacBook Pro running latest OSX. If I input a term, it recognises it, btu then spins indefinitely as if searching. (This used to happen during redirects, or if I clicked on another topic within a Wikipedia article, it now happens all the time.)

Thanks for what’s been my most useful 3rd party widget! (Trailing only Apple’s own Dictionary/Thesaurus.) I hope the fix is easy and forthcoming…

Does not work…. I input any word and nothing will come up. I am using 10.7.5.

rlaiken at yahoo.com October 17, 2012 8:14am

Alas poor widget, I miss him greatly!

nathanzamprogno at gmail.com October 16, 2012 8:58am

This widget has stopped working. Something to do with the Wikipedia backend? With OS-X 10.8.2? Please issue an update!

Cory Hartman October 15, 2012 7:38am

I love this widget too and am disappointed it’s not working. Hoping for a fix soon!
