The use of Jmol in HTML pages involves downloading a data file containing the atomic types and cartesian coordinates. This can be also done in the wiki, either by putting the molecular data in a wiki page or by uploading the molecular data file to the wiki or perhaps on Wikipedia to Commons like the use of images. More simply, the molecular data can be in the page itself between tags.

Use of Jmol in Wiki pages is available for several wikis (see [http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/Jmol_Processor Jmol-Wiki extensions]), and contributions have been made by several people. [[m:User:NicoV|NicoV]] has madecompleted significantwork progresson withthe first version of the Jmol extension adding support for Jmol in MediaWiki. It is proposed to get this fully working on Wikipedia in a way that editors can easily add Jmol molecules to articles on chemistry and biochemistry.
