Adding Content from Wikipedia to the Glossary
This feature is only available in the Ecommerce edition of the WordPress Glossary plugin.
Frontend Example
How plugin displays content generated by the Wikipedia API?
The content taken Wikipedia is generated automatically and can also include images, tables and all other content that was originally included in the Wikipedia term definition.
Note!
Due to the huge amounts of content in most of the Wikipedia pages, we only display the first section of the content, which usually includes the most general data.

Disabling Wikipedia content in specific terms
You can override the plugin general settings for showing the Wikipedia content on specific terms by checking the meta boxes on the term page.
Disable Wikipedia API for this term - will completely remove any Wikipedia content from the tooltip and the term page:
Pointing to specific Wiki Term
Since some of the Wikipedia terms have a duplicate meaning you can manually point the glossary to retrieve a specific term from Wikipedia by including the Wikipedia page URL as shown in this image.
