# DNS over Wikipedia
|
|
|
|
Wikipedia keeps track of official URLs for popular websites. With DNS over Wikipedia installed, domains ending with `.idk` are redirected by searching Wikipedia and extracting the relevant URL from the infobox.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
1. Type `scihub.idk/` in browser address bar
|
|
2. Observe redirect to `https://sci-hub.tw` (at the time of writing)
|
|

|
|
|
|
> Instead of googling for the site, I google for the site's Wikipedia article ("schihub wiki") which usually has an up-to-date link to the site in the sidebar, whereas Google is forced to censor their results.
|
|
>
|
|
> If you Google "Piratebay", the first search result is a fake "thepirate-bay.org" (with a dash) but the Wikipedia article lists the right one.
