Provide information on getting quotes from WikiQuotes or Goodreads

[toebes]

Provide an option to suggest random quotes from WikiQuotes/Goodreads with automatic scoring of the difficulty. Implement this by adding a button next to the cipher text labeled "Random Quote" that brings up a dialog that allows the user to choose the source (WikiQuotes/Goodreads) and whether to get the quote by topic/author/category. Once they select, present a second dialog with the list of topics/authors/categories available. When they select there, provide a RANDOMIZED list of quotes which are scored based on Chi-square and length. Allow them to click "get more" to augment the list.

This is a one that someone who wrote for GoodReads which is probably a little overkill for what it needs to do and relies on several outside packages.

However, this is a much more elegant one for WikiQuote
https://codepen.io/Eatcake/pen/ggxYeN?editors=1010
which uses the very elegant API that WikiQuote created
https://en.wikiquote.org/w/api.php
The magic for it is the start

function getRandomStart(callback) {
  $.ajax({
    url: api,
    data: {
      "action": "query",
      "format": "json",
      "titles": "List of people by name",
      "generator": "links",
      "gplnamespace": "0",
      "gpllimit": "20"
    },

The “titles”: “List of people by name” corresponds to the main page:
https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/List_of_people_by_name
Likewise there is
https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/List_of_television_shows
https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/List_of_films
https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/List_of_literary_works

This really shouldn't be integrated into the web page code, but a set of standalone scripts that people can use for their own scraping. We should put the information about running them on the how to page along with links to the scripts.
