I'm a firefox user, and I found an extension called "Wikipedia Lookup Extension". It doesn't wikify links, but it does give you a right-click menu item to open Wiki on whatever you highlight. It's here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/744 Oh, and if you load it, go to Tools > Add-ons and pull up the options for the extension. It appears you have to set your language, and it defaults to Norsk. InkSplotch On 6/2/07, Rich Holton <richholton(a)gmail.com> wrote: -- "Stercus, stercus, stercus, moritus sum!" www.inkernet.com

I find it hard to believe [[wiki]] is really that popular a subject - surmises on what's going on include disappointed Googlers on sex terms (who end up on a page of text with a link to a Wikipedian's penis) or people typing "wiki" or "wikipedia" into their search bar to get to the site. When press etc ask about this (someone from the Economist did) I caution them that it's an accurate count of page hits, but not necessarily of "popularity" in any useful sense. I'm not sure how we would measure that. Ideas? - d.
