Plugin WikiBot

This Bot integrates the successful opensource CMS Solution, Joomla, with the free Encyclopedia, WikiPedia. When activated [[wikitagged]] words in Joomla contents will become hyperlinked to WikiPedia articles. Note! Wikibot for Joomla 1.5 does now exist (Aug2007). Check plugin homepage or search for Wikibot2 at this site. Version 1.1 (10feb2006) – was extended with International (Fish) support by Nicolas Moyroud, and now links tagged words to correct wiki.language.site or a preferred one specified in the Bot config view. Backward compatible and uses standard wikitagging. Version 1.2 (26feb2006) [[article|linkname]] support. Some wikiarticles have different linksuffixes for the same name and now you can link to correct article without having to display the whole articlename in your article.

Backward compatible and uses standard wikitagging. Version 1.3 (28feb2006) [wiktionary:, [[wikiquote:, [[wikisource:, [[wikinews:, [[wikibooks: -support. Backward compatible and uses standard wikitagging. Version 1.3.1 (7apr2006) Wikipedia does not follow ISO standard in the case of using Swedish & Fish. "se" now becomes "sv" and works with the swedish wikipedia... Version 1.4 (15feb2007) "nw:" will result in a new window. Example: [[nw:text]] and [[wiktionary:article|nw:text]]. Version 1.4.1 (15feb2007) A generic bot switch was added to open a new window by default or not. Thank you Holger Mueller! Version 1.4.2 (16feb2007) A bugfix! The 1.3 support was lost in 1.4 & 1.4.1 and is now there again. Version 1.5 (19feb2007) Link color was added as a general switch. Version 1.5.1 (11Jun2007) Bug fix!: Problems experienced when Wikibot is used combined with Google PR. Solution was to add rel=”nofollow” to all wikilinked words. Version 1.5.2 (22Jul2007) Wikipedia does not follow ISO standard in the case of using Dutch & Fish. “du” now becomes “nl” and works with the Dutch wikipedia… !!! All further developments and improvements will be made to WikiBot2 for Joomla 1.5. WikiBot for 1.0.x will NOT be further developed – except from bug corrections.
