Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2019-09-06 11:55:04 UTC 
wikipedia-mode is unmaintained upstream, last release was 0.5 in 2006.

According to the README file of app-emacs/mediawiki, that package is the successor of wikipedia-mode:
"This version of mediawiki.el represents a merging of wikipedia-mode.el (maintained by Uwe Brauer) from EmacsWiki for its font-lock code, menu, draft mode, replying and convenience functions to produce mediawiki.el 2.0."

# Ulrich Müller <ulm@gentoo.org> (2019-09-06)
# Unmaintained upstream, last release in 2006.
# Use app-emacs/mediawiki as replacement.
# Masked for removal in 30 days, bug #693598.
app-emacs/wikipedia-mode
Comment 2 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2019-09-07 18:39:18 UTC 
Unmasked again, because the replacement package app-emacs/mediawiki-2.2.9-r1 has issues with editing tokens for newer versions of the Mediawiki API.
