5 unknown functions "Wikipedia"

Many do not know that "Wikipedia" is a beta-section, in which you can include some interesting features. Below we tell about them.

I think that many of you did not even know that the site "Wikipedia" can create. Even fewer people know that the "Wikipedia" is a beta-section, in which you can include enough interesting features, which we describe below.

First you need to create an account. To do this, go here. standard procedure. Now we go to beta-section. There are several options that you can include.

improved search

Half of our Google search anyway lead to the pages of "Wikipedia". So why an intermediary? Previously, the search engine "Wikipedia" was not very good, now it shows not only the results of on-demand, but also topical articles, ranking them by popularity.

cards

Handy thing, which is exactly save a couple of clicks. When you hover over any active link will be displayed with a summary card. That is, you do not have to click a link to see the most important.

other projects

Other projects - this is a beta feature that enables the display of the sidebar remaining projects "Wikipedia": "Wikisource", "Wikiquote", "Wikimedia Commons" and "Vikidal". Thus, you can click on one of them and find information on your request there.

Compact Personal bar

This feature simplifies the personal bar and hides on the instruments giving access to them only when it is needed.

Accelerated downloading large materials using HHVM

HHVM, or HipHop Virtual Machine - is a virtual machine for PHP, which makes it run faster. Unfortunately, I did not have this setting in the beta section, and the solution of the problem, I could not find. I think that this is due to the fact that the function does not work on a Mac.

Those who have it hooked up, say the great articles really load faster. Small materials - without any changes.

The beta-section has several functions, for example a visual editor for articles, compact panel and other languages. However, these features are not too interested in the average user, besides their description can be found right in the "Wikipedia". All the above functions can be connected now. After some time, when they will be tested and will come out of beta, they can be used without the reduced fraud.
