For the challenge of freeCodeCamp's "Build a Wikipedia Viewer", and wanna make the searching more lively .

MediaWiki action API

• a little bit hard for me to understand the whole API of MediaWiki.
• the searching part, I use the API:Search as a start.
• API:Search did fit the need, but I want the results could be more intuitive with their own picture. Since API:Search got only text information, I found Extension:PageImages to fetching the thumbnails for each result.
• Multi Language Searching is necessary, I think. So I made a drop down list to change the API domain. was plan to get full list of languages, from API, that Wikipedia can offer. Yet, found no clue for doing that.

Materialize v0.98.2

• cause was fascinated by the Material design, and Materialize was the easiest CSS framework, and, relatively, it did interpret the design really well.
• the Modals, Cards and inputs fields are stunning, but still took me a lot of CSS tuning work.

Tweet

• just wanna place a share button, so I made a tweet button.
• thought it should be easy, but fell down when passing text with special sign as URL parameter.
