Please don't abuse public good infrastructure

  How's that abusing public infrastructure? 1. Wikipedia is a private entity. 2. It is very well funded. 3. That extension probably uses less resources than someone loading an entire webpage with all associated media just to look up a url.

  In what way is this abuse?

    Depending if this became "popular", could overload them with traffic. I presume this is a fun test project though, so I doubt it would cause much harm, but it could be there.

      It's hitting the Wikipedia API, which I can assure you is used to seeing a lot worse.

      Overload wikipedia with traffic? As opposed to manually opening a Wikipedia page and copypasting the URL from it?
