Guide To Using WikiGrabber


All you have to do is enter a relevant search query to your niche, for example, I could use SEO, marketing, link building, or social media, etc.

In this example I’m going to do a search for the term search engine:

  1. This returns a list of pages on Wikipedia that are related to search engines but need citations or broken links fixing.
  2. By default, you will see results that need citations first and dead links second, but you can click on the buttons at the top to filter them accordingly.
  3. I can see that this page on Wikipedia needs citations and has a broken link:
  4. All I have to do then is go over to the page and press Ctrl + F to open up a find box and type in either citation needed or dead link to find where they are.
  5. Then you’ll see the result at the end of the page

Simple and easy!

Sometimes WikiGrabber doesn’t update in real-time, so it helps to find a lot of pages and search for these opportunities too. Just in case your vacancy has already been filled.
