create a Print Article icon to print an article as presented by Wikiwand
The article would be printed as presented by Wikiwand but without the menu, the header (top row) and the footer (containing "Enjoying Wikiwand?", etc.). It also shouldn't require generating a PDF file before printing.

Custom quote link URL
Restore the selected text link option, please.
[One used to be able to <right-click> selected text and get a URL which directed to the selected text quoted as a sort of header preceding the relevant article. Was handy for email and social media.]2 votes -

Allow one to disable the "just updated" notifications.
When a new story is emerging, there is a good chance that other folks will edit the story even while I am trying to read it. When that happens, a notification pops up covering a portion of the story. I can only get rid of the popup by clicking it to reload the story. This can happen repeatedly. However, it is not necessary for me to always include the latest update. I don't mind reading the story as it existed a few minutes ago. Consequently, in addition to the "reload the page" option, I would like a "stop advising me…

Client-side settings persistence
I use Wikiwand with sans font type at the biggest size available and the dark theme. It gets back to the default settings(with theme with serif font at smaller size) every time I reopen my browser or when mi IP adresse changes.
Woud it be possible to store the settings on the client-side (in a persistent cookie or through the browser extension for instance) so that I don't have to change them manually so often ?

Link to "Cite this page" under share options
There should be a link to "Cite this page" for easy citation of articles. I think under share options is a suitable place for it.

How to use Wikiwand with Mac OS launcher Alfred
If you have Wikiwand installed and use Mac OS launcher Alfred's native Wikipedia search, you will get an error every time. You have to make a custom search in Alfred using this search url format in the custom search dialog menu:
http://www.wikiwand.com/en/{query}
Then, give it a different keyword than the built-in. I use "wkk" (without quotes). Hopes this helps those who use Alfred.

Subsection preview
For links to subsections of articles, the hover could show the first few sentences of that section instead of the default article preview.

Make links easier to see when the dark background theme is selected.
When the dark background theme is selected, links are displayed as a light gray. These don't look very different from the white text, and can become difficult to distinguish.

improve search
Search titles rather than just the start of a title.
e.g. looking for articles about concrete. Typing "c-o-n-c-r ..." does not locate the article "Types of concrete". Which means you must know that an article exists and the name of the article to find it.
Alternatively Wikipedia could rename all of its articles to e.g. "Concrete, Types of". Which might be a bigger job :-)1 vote -
Make links brighter/more apparent on dark theme
It's difficult to distinguish links in the dark theme, particularly on a laptop screen not at full brightness.

Give San-serif font more weight
I generally prefer san-serif, but currently it's so thin that it's a bit hard to read, particularly with the dark theme.

Fix a Firefox problem when mouse-scrolling in the contents sidebar.
When the entire Contents list does not fit in the sidebar, you can scroll it with the mouse. However, if you hit the bottom of the sidebar, the scroll effect jumps to the main frame. This can cause the main frame to switch to a new topic relative to the Contents list. The result of changing the Contents topic now being displayed causes the highlight in the Contents sidebar to switch to the new topic. That, in turn, causes the sidebar to scroll to display the newly highlighted item. Thus a topic at the bottom of the Contents sidebar may…

Add "Random Article" based on user selection of categories
As an example, a middle schooler is very into algorithms and wants to explore sorting for the next month. He can add to his list of favorite categories "Sorting Algorithms". Random article can use this information to narrow down articles specific to his current interests.
Thanks Wikiwand!

Restore functionality of the 'Back' button
Currently pressing Back tries to navigate to the Wikipedia article, and hence redirects back to the Wikiwand article. This has the effect of disabling the back button unless you right-click it and select the page before the Wikipedia article. Please look into fixing this (if it can be done).
