Hi all --

Is it just be, or is the wikipedia applet returning less results than it used to?

From what I can guess, it seems to be trying links like:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesop_Rock_(band)

where Aesop Rock is the artist's name, whereas the correct link would be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesop_Rock

Would it be possible to fall back to the second link (dropping '(band)') if the page does not exist?

thanks

I have also noticed this, and have the same diagnosis

Just submitted a bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208024

Hope this helps; if compiling from source:

edit line 226 of

amarok-2.1.85/src/context/engines/wikipedia/WikipediaEngine.cpp

so that the double quoted expression reads
"wgArticleId=0,"
instead of "var wgArticleId = 0"

and recompile. This seems to fix the problem (for me at least). It seems wikipedia has changed its format when returning a non-existent page.

I added your solution to this bug report, hope we will find time to correct this before Monday:

Thanks for your suggestion!
