AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Wiki Embed is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Embed category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 8 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Wiki Embed works
Show full descriptionShow less
This plugin will pull content from any Media Wiki website (Such as wikipedia.org).
It strips and reformats the content, allowing you to supply some arguments to dictate how this works.
How does it work?
On your WordPress page or post. You embed a shortcode, something like
[wiki-embed url='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordPress' tabs no-contents no-infobox ]
Once you save the page you will have the content of the wiki embed into you page. Kind of like a youtube video.
Only the page will look like as if it is part of your site. Any changes that are made on the wiki will be reflected on your site, once the cache has expired and a new version of the page is requested from the wiki.
Why would you want to do that?
You can build a better navigation structure to your site, while crowd sourcing the content of the pages inside the wiki.
Win Win.

Usage Wiki Embed is implemented using the shortcode [wiki-embed]. It accepts the following arguments:
* url: (required) the web address of the wiki article that you want to embed on this page.
* no-edit: Hide the “edit” links from the wiki.
* no-contents: Hide the page’s contents box.
* no-infobox: Hide any infobox that appears on the wiki for this page.
* tabs: Replaces the sections of the wiki article with tabs.
* accordion: Replaces the sections of the wiki article with an accordian. This option cannot be used as the same time as ‘tabs’.
Example;
[wiki-embed url=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Example” no-edit no-contents no-infobox accordion]
Configuration Settings for the plugin can be found in ‘Wiki Embed’ -> ‘Settings’.
Here you can enable/disable various features, define shortcode defaults, and configure some global settings for the plugin.
