Integrate Wikipedia (resolves one zillion comments)

[thepilgrim]

i noticed that many users were posting about glossaries, dictionaries, etc.

would it be possible to include a link with the search box for www.wikipedia.com into the main menu option? :?:

that way, everybody could have a monstrous information resource built by zillions of others and help to flesh out the blank/need-to-edit entries across the database.

just a thought. i'm looking at integrating it right now into my own site as a content section that will just call the page results and search box to a content category (also on main menu) called, "wikipedia"

Looking for same thing either in form of a module or mambo searchbot

nothing like this on mamboforge/mamboportal/#wikipedia/#mambo

thepilgrim, did you ever come up with anything for this?

[Gargen]

i am actually looking for this as well if any has one or is willing to make one that would be cool

according to #wikipedia and #mediawiki such functionality does not exist. There is a future plan to implement functions of wikipedia for remote access. yet right now there is nada, unless somebody wants to code something. i'm pretty sure that coding a simple searchbot would be pretty simple. if someone has a source code to an existing searchbot, please paste it here and I'll see what I can do.

according to #wikipedia and #mediawiki
I wondered if there's a special meaning to the use of the hash ?
