The Wikipedia platform adds support to Appkit for the Wikipedia search engine.

​
Setup

To add Wikipedia connectors to a Maven project, you must add this dependency to your project’s pom.xml file: 
<dependency>
    <groupId>twigkit</groupId>
    <artifactId>twigkit.wikipedia</artifactId>
    <version>${project.parent.version}</version>
</dependency>

​
Usage

This example shows how to configure a Wikipedia search endpoint. You can define the search endpoint through a configuration node (say conf/platforms/wikipedia.conf). For this you must include name: twigkit.search.wikipedia.Wikipedia, as shown here: 
name: twigkit.search.wikipedia.Wikipedia
defaultQuery: my_default_query
