# 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.
