It would be cool if you could make a simple link to a wikipedia entry with something like:

The [w]amazon[/w] is a very cool place.

And it would output this:

The \<a href=“[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/amazon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/amazon)” title=“amazon on Wikipedia”\>amazon\</a\> is a very cool place.

That would be awesome and easy.

Thanks 🙂
