The Wikipedia extension

The betty.extension.Wikipedia extension renders summaries of Wikipedia articles. If a entity such as a person or a place contains links to Wikipedia articles, templates can use this extension to fetch translated summaries of these articles, and render them on the entity’s page.

Enable this extension through Betty Desktop, or in your project’s configuration file as follows:

extensions:
  betty.extension.Wikipedia: {}
{
  "extensions": {
    "betty.extension.Wikipedia": {}
  }
}

      }
