Wikipedia Goggles

This repository hosts two Brave Search Goggles that reranks search results to promote sources considered reliable by the Wikipedia community:

  1. wikipedia-reliable-sources-only.goggle – Boosts reliable sources and downranks contentious ones, showing no other results. Search using this Goggle.
  2. wikipedia-reliable-sources.goggle – Similar to the first, but it allows additional sources while discarding those deemed unreliable. Search using this Goggle.

Reliability sources

This project leverages reliability ratings from various Wikipedia sources to assess the trustworthiness of content. The ratings are based on the following Wikipedia pages:

Additionally, sources frequently used in featured articles (FA) and good articles (GA) are included.

How reliability affects rankings

The reliability ratings are adjusted using the following parameters:

  • $boost=2 – Applied to sources considered "Generally reliable" or "Reliable"
  • $downrank=2 – Used for sources labeled with "No consensus"
  • $discard – Assigned to sources determined as "Unreliable," "Blacklisted," or "Deprecated"
