Google in Wikipedia Greasemonkey Script
Function:
It inserts links to Google Web and Images searches in any Wikipedia article, that use the article’s title as the search phrase. The links are intended to appear below the article title.

- Works for all Wikipedia pages in all languages, irrespective of whether they are articles or other Wikipedia related pages. But their position on screen is non-intrusive and does not affect normal browsing as far as I have seen.
- For few pages, the links may not appear below the article but in some other part of the screen. The articles in which I experienced this problem were mostly ones about sportspersons. These articles usually begin with a career statistics table and the links get placed among the text within the table.
- Apparently the problem also exists for articles on comic book heros (e.g. Superman, Spiderman). They’ve got info tables of their own too.
- The userscripts.org page for this script.
- More info about how I got to writing the script can be found here.
