Very excellent

Really liked this plugin. Useful. Doesn't add unnecessary taxonomies. Would be interested in seeing what other features it could add. Authors with Wikipedia pages or Wikidata entries could be linked as well from their profiles. One of the few plugins that seems to get the core idea really well.

1.0.1

  • Now, terms at disambiguation screen are shown in multiple languages. If not found they will be displayed in English.
  • Added a \’loading\’ animation while getting Wikidata info.
  • \’Describedby\’ links at archive tags/categories pages priority descended.
