Usage

For wikipedia links in the notes markdown formatting is used; this should be enabled for your tree. See Control panel/Manage family trees/Preferences and then scroll down to "Text" and mark the option "markdown". If markdown is disabled the links are still working, but the formatting isn't so nice.

Select as user "Historic events" at the "Facts and events" tab.
