FAQ
How do I convert a Wikipedia article to Markdown for AI?
Paste the Wikipedia article URL into Web2MD. It keeps the section hierarchy, tables, and infobox as Markdown, and can retain the citation references so you know where facts came from. It strips the sidebar, "edit" links, and navigation chrome. Paste the result into ChatGPT or Claude to summarize a long article or answer questions grounded in the source.
Does Web2MD keep Wikipedia tables and references?
Yes. Wikipedia articles are heavy on tables, infoboxes, and numbered references, and Web2MD converts tables to Markdown table syntax and preserves the reference list so an AI can trace claims back to citations — instead of the mangled text you get from copy-pasting the rendered page.
