Re: [VuFind-General] [EXTERNAL] Vufind - Wikipedia Info

You can index authority data to improve the accuracy of Wikipedia matching; without it, common names will sometimes be mismatched, since the system does not have access to more specific identifiers to clarify links – it simply matches on names. See the documentation here:

https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/blob/master/config/vufind/searches.ini#L326

To activate this feature, you need to download and index the VIAF authority records, plus you need to change the configuration line here:

https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/blob/master/config/vufind/searches.ini#L453

to:

top[] = AuthorInfo:true

Alternatively, if you do not find the author information helpful, you can simply comment this line out to eliminate it.

Dear All

I observed that the wikipedia information shown on the vufind page is mismatch, I hope my steps are correct.
Please have a look at the screenshot.
