@wiki:<title> context references: attach the lead section of a Wikipedia article to a message, or one section with @wiki:<title>#<section>, with title autocomplete in the TUI and Desktop composer.

## Good to know before installing

Sends HTTPS GET requests to <language>.wikipedia.org/w/api.php only (the referenced title and the typed autocomplete prefix leave the machine; a section is cut locally); no API key, no files written, no subprocess; register() only adds the @wiki: reference provider.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install wiki-ref
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable wiki-ref
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
