This is great! Is the source available?

A couple of suggestions:

  * Option to disable geographic location links

  * Option to disable general articles

  * Language options (include simple english)

  * Maybe an option to use the mobile version? (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/)

Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely implement some of them. Regarding the mobile version: I thought it would already use the mobile version as it uses the minerva skin of Wikipedia.

Just added Simple English as a language.

Suggestion: If the start and destination inputs are left empty, select a random article for both.

Thanks for the suggestion. Implemented random articles (as well as random names) :)

This is really nice, but instead of a timer at the end showing the successful path it should be the leader who decide when to start new, because player maybe want to discuss the results a bit.
