UPDATE: 5 Oct 2010 - A 1.6 version was submitted for review.
UPDATE: 11 Jan 2011 - A 1.6 version was again submitted for review.
UPDATE: 26 Jan 2011 - New version that support php 5.3 (Uses explode instead of split)
A 1.6 version of WikiBot is downloadable at download site.
All links are generated with // instead of / (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//body) for [[body]]. If german has been selected as language, it continues with english on Joomla 1.5.24
The plug isn't working correctly with php 5.3 anymore, since it uses the funtion split().
Owner's reply
The new version does (have replaced split with explode)
Overall function is good. But it has a con that it does not fully link an article which actually includes colon in title. For example, the code [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]] links to only "The Wind Waker" instead of the full name.
+ very simple to install and use
+ useful (it will be boring inserting manually all wikipedia liks)
+ good features: specific link color, ability to select wikipedia server (en, it, fr, ...), ability to specify different article name for the link
- it will be also very nice the ability to select an alternative server for a particular link; in example I use the italian site, but some words can be missing; so it will be nice to have a tag like this: [[Joomla]], that force using en.wikipedia.org.
