Language and Translation
- Wikipedia Bilingual - displays a Wikipedia article in 2 of the languages in which it is available, side by side (for example, Russian and Spanish). Also available as a Firefox extension.
- Amalgam crosslinks Wikipedia with 9 other online encyclopedias (6 English, 3 German).
- wikipedia rearrange other languages - Allows you to hide languages you don't know and sort those you do.
Typography
- SmartQuotes - converts typewriter quotation marks to “smart” quotes, hyphens to en dashes, double hyphens to em dashes, and triple periods to ellipses.
- DumbQuotes - does the opposite of SmartQuotes.
- Wikepedia Easy Read - very clean, big letter article layout without disturbing elements. You need a Wikipedia search plugin for your browser if you still want to search through Wikipedia.
Misc
- Wikimedia secure links fixes links to Wikimedia websites to use the secure HTTPS interface. (last updated May, 2008)
- Wikipedia Rewrite URLs for Redirects changes the URL of a redirected article to the article it was redirected to. For example, going to The Bible lands you on Bible, but the URL, without this script, would still reflect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible, not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible. (last updated Oct, 2009)
- Google search - Adds links to the tools menu to do a Google search for the article title. (last updated Aug, 2009)
