Wikipedia Companion has been updated! (1.8.2)

Hi fellows! "Wikipedia Companion" is now "Lookup Companion for Wikipedia"!

Due to recent changes to Wikipedia's new formatting and layout our Companion has been broken for a few days. We have just pushed a fix that will work for most languages. If you still see odd formatting try a new search and see if things get updated (Chrome may have cached the content). If you still have issues with particular languages please feel free to leave a comment. We will then check on it promptly.

Enjoy and thanks for your support so far!
