great extension
Fab extension, would be better with max/min window controls.
Yeah this is great- would also be a snazzy idea if it also ran an "I'm feeling lucky" Q. automatically with the Song, Artist and "lyrics".
very good extension, only problem is that when reading a longer article about an artist, and a different song (by the same artist) comes on, the page will reload and I have to scroll back down to where I was...
Wont work with the latest build 0.3.1 - can someone please provide a fix?
The latest version has been updated for 0.4 and supports the new display panes. Yay!
can you please make it working on the version 0.5pre please?
Just uploaded a new version that bumps the maxVersion to 0.5pre. Download/install it again please :)
Is there anyway to change the location of the extension? Right now it’s always stuck on the bottom half of the page, which is agrivating when you you have a large library OR the wiki page is big.
I think a more usable interaction would to have it be tabbed. Meaning the library is on the first tab and the second one contains the wikipage.
Possible?
All of the extensions previously owned by ErikStaats is are now by the user Songbird?
Great extension to a great media player. I would love to be able to change from English Wikipedia to the language of my choice, Norwegian.
Great looking extension. I collect a cappella music. 700 cds, approx. 10,000 songs. Over 90 percent of my artists would fail the Wiki notability test (I wrote the wiki people). I would like to create my own wiki using mywiki. I would love to have a way of choosing between the public wiki and mywiki. Otherwise this extension would be quite useless for me.
I meant to say Mediawiki instead of mywiki
Great extension, yes, but I would like to change the lang: I would like to adress fr.wikipedia.org instead of en.wikipedia.org, but i didn’t find where is the url.
Oh please, just a little feature request ;-)
just the same friendly request for a language-switch this time to german
If any of you guys use the Stylish extension, you might be interested in this user style I wrote to get rid of all the chrome and crap from wikipedia’s website so I can view the information easily in a small pane in Songbird.

Please file bugs in our Bugzilla @ bugzilla.songbirdnest.com, put [wikipedia] in the description and assign it to me (stevel@songbirdnest.com).
I’ll try to add the feature requests when I have time. And the first one I’ll add will be a preference for a language/localised wikipedia site instead of defaulting to en. :)
How do i unhide this? I hid this a couple of days ago, and i don’t know how to unhide it!?
Will this extension work in songbird .5 if we just change the version number in the extension file? Anyone know?
Nevermind, I just needed to uninstall and re-download. For some reason the add-on updater didn’t work for this extension when I upgraded Songbird.
