Summary: Wikilink (Wikipedia) plug in

Initial Comment:
It would be great to have a plug-in that made Wiki
links (eg. [[gaim]]) clickable. There'd need to be an
option for the URL of the Wiki to use (eg.
en.wikipedia.org), and then the plugin would make up
the full URL and open a new tab in a browser. 

Would be tres handy!

space are automatically converted to underscores by wikipedia.

there are two ideas in this "thread":

1. convert [[wikilinks]] into actual links to wikipedia,
which are often used in IRC chat and such.

2. convert every word to a wikilink, as was done in trillian
for a little bit.

I did number 1.  See here:

[[Wikipedia:Scripts#Gaim]]

er...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Scripts#Gaim

This expression works...sorta

# WikiPedia
([A-z0-9]+) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1

If you use the expression above, you'll get every word
returned as a link to it's wikipedia match (presuming that
it has one.)  

What really needs to be done from what I can make of the
Linkify plugin is the following.

1) Create a data file containing the key words and phrases
to be wikilinked via regex.

2) Createing an array from the data file and parsing the
messages sent/received through it.

3) Wikipedia already converts blank spaces to underscores,
so would Linkify need to be modifed to do so?  I would say
yes, but I can't figure out where to put the code.

s/\s/_/g;

Just to make sure I had it right I processed a simple script
via command line and it ran as expected.

Linkify does similar transformations, though not quite what
you want:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1026860&group_id=235&atid=390395

A linkify.cfg line that would probably work for single words
(can't test it right now) is
\[\[(\S+)\]\]  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1

Linkify would have to be modified to change spaces into
underscores for multi-word links though.

Trillian does this already... I was hoping it was done for
Gaim, but... time to do some Perl digging...
