Wikipedia is the most popular wiki site on the internet made with the help of MediaWiki software

this is a custom frontend for wikipedia, made using the mediawiki api, because i am bored of the plain wikipedia ui.

the mediawiki api is a web service that allows us access to wiki operations like searching and fetching page contents

this project can still be improved upon a lot, so if you want to, feel free to contribute,

do try to avoid using any frameworks, even jquery, i want to keep this as simple as possible

here are a couple things this project needs work on :-

1. when you click on any link, it takes you to wikipedia, make it so that links open inside coolwiki only, you need to send the link title into the page() function [important feature]
2. remove the [edit] in front of titles, and any other unimportant things, such as the references and bibliography section
3. *more themes. since the point of this was to be a frontend for wikipedia, more themes will go a long way, make a dropdown list from which you can choose from, dark and light themes equally welcome!
4. brush up the code. if you think my code can be improved or made clearer, especially the js part, do it. Just try to avoid using things like jquery

happy surfing!
