[wiki] [/wiki] - the new Instant UBB Code

I think it would be cool to create a link to the wikipedia entry of a word by using a code like [wiki]psychedelic[/wiki]. This would create a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelic and would look like psychedelic in the post.
I don't know if this is possible and if it's easy to implement, but I would like it!

That would would be cool.

what with things that don't have a wiki entry? it would just try to link to it anyway?
ie
[wiki]my left shoe[/wiki] => en.wikipedia.org/wiki/my_left_shoe even if htat wiki page doesn't exist?

Yeah, but the default 404 page for wikipedia is an invitation to start the article, so it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
A problem I see is capitalisation - e.g Linking to Psilocybe Cubensis when in fact the article is at Psilocybe cubensis.

I totally agree with Odiumjunkie someone should go and start Wiki with a detailed description on what it is, where it is found and the active ingredients and the effects they give. Then when someone searches hallucinates, psychedelic then all of this info on the most popular magic mushroom comes up and then the attention is caught. Maybe drop a plug for the shroomery... I would hate to fuck it up so anyone wanna give it a try. Hell this could get the ball rolling to add many other species...wavy caps etc.

Sorry for the repost but I was thinking there is no realy need for it...Species is ALWAYS lower case and it would be incorrect to have to upper, I understand there being a link to the page but what about something like google has "do you mean "Psilocybe cubensis".

I agree that would be very cool and useful. I'd like to see something like this implemented.
