include access to missing components such as coordinates
One of my common purposes for using Wikipedia is accessing the GPS coordinates of a location to see exactly where it is. Apparently I have to switch to the original Wiki page to access the coordinates link. Can this be added to the WikiWand styled page?

Click on top bar to go to the top of the article
One G+ feature that I love is the ability to click on the top bar to go straight to the top of the page.
Seeing that this extension has a similar top bar (in the sense that it auto-hides and has more than enough blank space available) it would be great if clicking somewhere on that empty space would make the article automatically scroll bar to the top.
3 votesYou can actually do that – scroll to top by clicking the article name in the sidebar. That is: click the article name in the top-left corner of the screen.

Fix the bug that gets triggered by http://www.wikiwand.com/de/ORGAN%C2%B2/ASLSP
This should open the article http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORGAN%C2%B2/ASLSP
and not open the search page. The first hit is a link to the article.Perhaps this is the same bug described in "Fix a bug for urls with a slash (/)".

Quick definitions are broken in Chrome 73
In Chrome 73, a new security feature called Cross-Origin Read Blocking (https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5629709824032768) prevents Wikiwands popup definitions from working. When you attempt to do a popup, the spinner stays forever, and in the Chrome Console log, you can see the following error message:
"Cross-Origin Read Blocking (CORB) blocked cross-origin response "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?..." with MIME type application/json. See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5629709824032768 for more details."
Relatedly: when the pop-up fails, the spinner stays forever. The popup should detect failure and remove the spinner when this happens, and ideally show a pop-up error with what happened.

Fix iOS Safari Crashes
I find WikiWand slow and crashy on mobile Safari. When I load a moderately long article, like Bill Gates, it is slow loading, and about 50% of the time it crashes the page/browser (which I see rarely happen on other sites). On my Android Nexus 7 tablet, Wiki Wand works much better. My Device: iPhone 4S; iOS 8.
3 votesWe improved iOS/Safari performance vastly in the past month. Does it work better now?

Hiding search bar
It would be nice IMO, if we could have a hidden search bar unless we hover the mouse over it. maybe with a small option to keep it visible if we need or prefer, I think that it is too visible on the page. Thx,

Minify HTML, CSS and compress images
Wikiwand loads slow (In comparison of other sites)!!
Why don't you minify HTML, CSS and compress images? Also go for removal of render blocking content, if possible!3 votesHi Tanmay.
We do concatenate and minify CSS, JS and images.
However, we take your comment very seriously, so we’ll figure out other ways to enhance the load time of Wikiwand. -
Include easy access to the talk pages.
I use talk pages frequently to understand controversy on contentious subjects.
(Also, they are very entertaining sometimes. I recommend reading the talk page for the "Oxford Comma" to see some of the best articulated trolling on the internet)

Add simple English to the language options
I use the Simple English "language" of Wikipedia all the time with my ESL students, and it would be AWESOME if they could view the Simple English pages via Wikiwand.
3 votesHi Victor.
Simple English is actually fully supported in Wikiwand :)For an example:
1. Please go to http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Education
2. Click the (EN) icon in the toolbar
3. Click “149 other languages”
4. Search for, and select “Simple English”If you wish to quickly access Simple English from the languages dropdown, you can add it as a preferred language:
1. Go to any article on Wikiwand
2. Click the (EN) icon in the toolbar
3. Click “Language Preferences”
4. Add “Simple English” to your language preferences
5. Close the dialog
6. Click the (EN) icon in the toolbar again. You should see “Simple English” in the dropdown, which will indicate if this article is available in Simple English (not all articles are).Hope this helps!

Wikiwand Suggest as cover photo grey screen
I was reading an article and when I clicked a word to read some more information, I got a grey screen with a "Suggest as cover photo" with two buttons. When I click on the close button it doesn't do anything and when I click the button yes or no it opens a new tab with the same content.
It showed up when I had Wikiwand version 3.2., so I installed it back to 3.1. and the problem still show up.3 votes -
Show hatnotes
Hatnotes at the top of the page that tell you things like "for other uses, see ... (disambiguation)" do not show up on Wikiwand. Please add this support as we rely on these links to get around smoothly. Thank you!
2 votesDisambiguation links are actually available on Wikiwand. Go to:
http://www.wikiwand.com/en/George_W._Bush
See the little “Disambiguation” icon after the article title, hover over it to see the disambiguation note. -
Open source
I understand you might want to monetize WikiWand later on, but the source being available shouldn't hurt your ability to do so, and in fact using a popular code hosting provider such as github will likely even accelerate its improvement :)
2 votesHi Waldir. We might release some parts of WikiWand (but not all of it) as Open Source. But this will be in the future.

Por favor implementen a WikiWand con la opción de convertir los artículos de la wikipedia en PDF... hace falta esa función, todo lo demás está perfecto...

Put most commonly used languages on top
It looks like it's always the same languages on top, and then you can click 'more languages' to choose between all languages.
But most users have a specific subset of languages which they care about (common case being their mother tongue + english).1 voteYou can now customize your favorite languages in Wikiwand!

Remove "install WikiWand" links if extension already installed.
In Firefox, remove "install WikiWand" links if extension already installed.
1 voteHi Fabian.
This is not intended – “Install WikiWand” buttons shouldn’t be shown if you have the extension installed.
This must be a bug, please contact us at support@wikiwand.com and we’ll try to solve it. -
