About Wikipedia widget

leo97g

When I disable images or videos, or both, from the search results, the Wikipedia widget gets hidden too. But it's a bit complicated. With some search queries, the Wikipedia widget disappears only when you disable images. With some other searches, it only disappears if videos are disabled. And also sometimes it hides when both are turned off. It's a weird bug. However, what I just said isn't always true; in some cases, the Wikipedia widget is still visible even if one or both are disabled.

*I only tried it on mobile; I don't know about desktop.

I expected the Wikipedia widget to be visible unless that feature was disabled.

Could you give some example queries? I've learned the widget can have some interesting triggers that might explain this.

I've added two examples below with their settings. The only thing I changed was to disable the image or video; all my other settings stayed the same. After I noticed this, I tried it with a bunch of different random names that came to mind. If you try it yourself with different names, you'll see examples pop up.

There's no interaction with these settings and wikipedia in our code. This is probably just incidental unreliability of the Wikipedia widget. Other settings, like your Region, may affect this.

There are some problems, I'm noticing them as well.
we're working on overhauling our wikipedia integration to improve these things
