Let's Get Personal

Let's Get Personal is a lightweight browser extension that reorganizes Wikipedia articles for readers who want quick access to biographical details. By default, Wikipedia places the "Personal Life" section near the bottom of an entry, after lengthy sections about career, achievements, and legacy. This extension automatically moves that section to the top of the page, right after the introductory summary. This saves you from scrolling through dense content when you're primarily interested in the subject's family, relationships, early life, or personal interests. It's especially useful for casual browsing, research on public figures, or when you want a more human-focused overview of a person without wading through career milestones first.

Key Features

• Automatic Section Relocation: The extension scans each Wikipedia page for the "Personal Life" heading and moves the entire section (including all subsections) to the top, just below the lead paragraph. No manual intervention is needed.
• Works on All Wikipedia Language Versions: It supports any Wikipedia domain (e.g., en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org) as long as the section heading exists. The extension checks for common translations of "Personal Life" in multiple languages.
• Lightweight and Privacy-Friendly: The extension runs entirely on the client side-no data is sent to external servers. It only activates on Wikipedia pages and does not track your browsing activity.
• Simple On/Off Control: You can enable or disable the extension from the toolbar icon. When disabled, the page reverts to the original layout. There are no complex settings.
• Preserves Page Structure: Other sections remain in their original order relative to each other. The extension only moves the Personal Life section; it does not alter any content or add extra elements.

Whether you're a student researching a historical figure, a curious reader, or someone who prefers the human story first, Let's Get Personal streamlines your Wikipedia experience. It was inspired by a tweet suggesting that the personal life section should be more prominent, and this extension makes that idea a reality with zero configuration.
