Entity Information Popups
Juncture supports Entity Information Popups, a powerful feature that lets you enrich your pages with contextual information—automatically pulled from Wikidata.
In Text
When you link to a Wikidata entity using its QID (for example, Q243 for the Eiffel Tower), Juncture automatically adds a clickable popup to that link. The popup displays:
- The label (name/title of the entity)
- A short description
- A thumbnail image (when available)
- A link to the corresponding Wikipedia page
This allows readers to quickly get more information without leaving your page.
For example:
[The Eiffel Tower](Q243)
In Juncture, this link will trigger a small popup showing key facts about the Eiffel Tower.
On Maps
Juncture also uses these popups in its interactive map component. When you reference a location using a Wikidata QID in a map tag, Juncture will:
- Automatically retrieve geo-coordinates to center the map and place a marker
- Use the entity’s label as the map caption
- Show an info popup on the marker with the same rich content: label, description, and image
Example:
`map location=Q243 marker`
This creates a map centered on the Eiffel Tower, with a marker that shows a full popup when clicked—powered entirely by Wikidata.
These popups make your content more engaging, trustworthy, and user-friendly—all while keeping your Markdown clean and minimal. You get all the benefits of structured data without any of the manual work.
