Wikipedia may be going dark all day today in protest of SOPA/PIPA but that doesn’t mean it’s going offline completely. With very little work, you’ll be able to access the online encyclopedia today—even if it does go against the spirit of the protest.
According to the Wall Street Journal, a Wikimedia spokesman confirmed today that the mobile version of the website will remain online at en.m.wikipedia.org. Also, any API that pulls information from the Wikipedia servers will remain active as well. That means you’ll also still be able to access Wiki content through Facebook. [WSJ]
Disabling javascript in your browser works, also.
Beat me to it!
Pro-tip!
Or just turn off Javascript.
Answers-dot-come works pretty well too if you don’t want a slightly gimped mobile version of Wikipedia, seems to mirror most of Wikipedia’s content too.
Pressing stop in your browser really quickly when the page you want initially shows up also works.
Doesn’t this kinda defeat the purpose of the blackout?
Isn’t it sad that we can’t do without Wikipedia for a single day to make a point as important as this? I suppose you could say it’s a demonstration of how futile SOPA would be at stopping people getting what they wanted, but lets be honest, it’s just a lack of resolve.
Just used the cache’d version.
Certainly better than the mobile site.
yeah, http://m.wikipedia.org is working great!
Or just go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Learn_more
Searching for pages still works.
The easiest way has to be just adding ?banner=none to the end of the url for any wikipedai article
Hitting escape just before the blackout screen comes up works
