Notes

Fork of https://github.com/wasi-master/vscode-wikipedia-hyperlink/ because I didn't want the link summary.

I made a comment on the upstream original asking the author to consider it an option ( e.g. https://github.com/wasi-master/vscode-wikipedia-hyperlink/discussions/2 ).

I modified the extension ID to leave the original available to if the option comes available and installed a package to publish a .VSIX file so that I could sync it with codepaces so that when I'm writing on my iPad I can use it.
