WikiHole 6/10/2026
WikiHole is live at wikihole.asix.live. Start a rabbit hole, follow it a few links deep, and hit the quiz button to test yourself on what you found.
##What was wrong
Three things, actually. First, the quiz button in the article view was crashing the app entirely due to a variable scoping bug — a classic case of a piece of code reaching for something that wasn't there. Second, when the quiz failed for any reason, the error message was completely blank. Users would see "Quiz failed: " and nothing else — no hint of what went wrong or what to do. Third, the quiz required an external API key to work at all, which meant it simply didn't function in the live app.
##What we fixed
The crash is gone. The error messages now tell you exactly what's happening in plain English. And most importantly, the quiz feature now generates questions entirely on its own — no external service, no API key, no cost.
The new quiz engine reads the Wikipedia articles you've already explored and builds questions from the content directly. It pulls descriptions, facts, years, and numbers from the text and turns them into multiple choice questions. If you've gone three articles deep into a rabbit hole, it can ask you which description belongs to which topic, or fill in a historical date from a sentence in the article. It's not magic — it's just your own reading being handed back to you as a test.
The questions come in three flavors: matching a title to its description, identifying which article a description belongs to, and filling in a key fact that was blanked out from a real sentence. The deeper your trail, the more material there is to work with, and the better the questions get.
