Wikipedia Content in Pika

Pika can display Wikipedia content for authors in author search results pages when the setting is enabled in the configuration. There are times when the linked Wikipedia article for the author is incorrect or irrelevant and needs to be either corrected or disabled/hidden.

 

Users with the ‘Cataloging’ permission in Pika can access the Author Enrichment option under Cataloging.

You can Hide Wikipedia Information as well as changing the Wikipedia URL. This gives you control over which Wikipedia article you are using.

When you search for the author you will see the link for the author on the record. In this example, we’ll use the author Jane Porter.

The exact author information is needed when specifying the Wikipedia information. You can get this information from the search results, or the full record display (Porter, Jane, 1964 - ).  You would copy and paste this information into the Wikipedia form.  If there are three or more variations, you may need to enter the correct information a few times or edit the MARC record.

Clicking on the author link will return search results for that author and the corresponding Wikipedia article.  You should verify that information is correct.
