Wikiproxy: Greasemonkey Edition

I've installed this script and it doesn't seem to do anything on my computer. Other Greasemonkey scripts are working fine. Am I missing something?

Hm, changing the country is nice, but maybe it would be really neat if the script looked at the language of the website you're reading (or if that's not possible, the top-level-domain) and choose the local edition of wikipedia. So if I'm reading spiegel.de, I get the german wikipedia links for all the names and if I'm reading slashdot.org, I get the english ones...

I just did that by hand by exluding *.de and *.de.vu from the usual script and including those in an edited version, but that's not the clean way to do it.

Unfortunately I'm not very proficient in javascript, and I hate programming in it, so maybe someone else likes this idea, too? Enough to do it? :)

I have posted an edited version of this script here. This script screwed up website formatting by including an image after the newly created links. Mine has been modified to remove the images and mark the created links by a dotted underline.

You can change the country easily by replacing

wikipediaUrlPrefix = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/";

to

wikipediaUrlPrefix = "http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/";
