Editors’ Notes
Wikipedia has been answering our big and small questions since its introduction in 2001. What if you only speak Hawaiian? Mai hopohopo! Hauʻoli! (Don’t worry! Be happy!) With information in nearly 300 Wikipedia-supported languages, you’ll be able to find facts in the lingo you like.

My go to app everyday
Widget
Since I love the app so much that I’m a monthly donor I’d like to address one idiotic thing regarding the IOS widget. Why can’t we go straight to "search" but have to click out a stupid picture we haven’t even chosen before we get there? Doesn’t seem like much trouble you say? But to me iOS widgets are all about ease of use. Unlike the cumbersome competitor. So get rid of that unnecessary extra step and it will be full *****
