According to their Wikimania presentation (hopefully available soon on
Commons), they've also prepared a Firefox add-on, WikiTrust, which adds a
new "trust info" tab to the top of mainspace articles.  The trust info
database is still being populated, though, so the trust info itself may be a
little skewed; at the presentation they estimated that the English Wikipedia
trust info database would be finished in about a month.  (Their existing
algorithm is language-independent, so presumably the add-on will work for
non-English wikis as well.)

The Firefox add-on is still classified as "experimental", but adventurous
persons can still get it at <
