Wikipedia Shim - "Rabbit-hole Fence"

A "shimmed"link is one that tells the visitor that I have link to a website but it up to the visitor to locate that link for themselves.

How to use the Wikipedia Shim

If you are a vistor to this website then you can copy and paste the link to the Wikipedia page.
Alternatively, you can make a simple search yourself. The pop-up is to indicate where I obtained the information on the page.

Depending on your device you can visit the Wikipedia link by highlighting all or part of the text and "look-up" the link directly.

Rabbit-hole Fence

This technique has been given the nick-name "Rabbit-Hole Fence", if you are like me if you click on a Wikipedia link you are often sucked into a "rabbit-hole". It is too easy to click on related links and you often forget why you were there in the first place and what you were looking up originally.

The code:

The code is similar to the Facebook and regular shim. There is an additional paragraph element with the id="dest" added and the id of the "anchor" element is changed to "anchor2" (this is because there needs to be unique ids on the page)

However, if the Wikipedia shim is used on a page without the regular shim there needs to be an element with the id="anchor". Unless the anchor is called wpanchor

The calling syntax is the same as the regular shim, two parameters, the function name will be different.
