Had an interesting idea this morning. Probably not high priority, but it might be really easy to implement. http://dev.tiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=3852 I have started a blog using Tiki, where I talk about what I have learned over the years on Agile Software developement in a Research and Development context. In the three weeks I have been doing this, I find myself pointing to Wikipedia pages over and over, whenever I need to refer to a specialized concept that my readers might not understand. The way I do it now is like this. Say I want to refer to the concept of Code Refactoring. Then I will write ((code refactoring)) . Then I will create a wiki page code refactoring, and put a redirect plugin on it, so that it forwards automatically to this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/code_refactoring Then, whenever I need to refer to code refactoring, I can just write code refactoring?<http://dev.tiki.org/tiki-editpage.php?page=code+refactoring>. It occurred to me that it might be useful to have a special wiki link syntax to make this easier. For example, I could write code refactoring?<http://dev.tiki.org/tiki-editpage.php?page=code+refactoring>, and this would be rendered as if I had typed: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/code_refactoring|code refactoring] . I can see other application of this concept for other well known sites that provide information about known entities. For example: Marc Laport?<http://dev.tiki.org/tiki-editpage.php?page=Marc+Laport> would point to this page: http://en-gb.facebook.com/marc.laporte.name Alain Désilets Agent de recherche | Research Officer Institut de technologie de l'information | Institute for Information Technology Conseil national de recherches du Canada | National Research Council of Canada |

Maybe hotwords? I think you can configure them to dynamically include the specific page (e.g., from wikipedia).

Found it, thx. One problem I see with this is that the formatting of the page name in the URL differs between Tiki and WP. On Tiki it's Page+Name but on WP it's Page_name? So if I set the URL of the external wiki for WP to be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$page, then if I write: ((wikipedia:code refactoring)) I am taken to this page which does not exist: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code+refactoring Of course, I can always write: ((wikipedia:code_refactoring)) But the anchor text for the link becomes code_refactoring instead of "code refactoring". Is there a way to tell Tiki to reformat the page name by replacing the + to _?

Right. But I was thinking of something in the backend that would not require me to do this. For example, we could have an additional field for an External Wiki, which might be something like: Word separator in external page name: In the case of WP, you would set that to _. The system would then automatically translate the Tiki page name code+refactoring to code_refactoring.
