Probably it would be best to just bulk export pages from Wikipedia and then import them to your content, then maybe you could try to create a conditional template or extension that would display the text if the link is to external source (i.e. wikipedia).

Is it possible on a corporate Wiki to include actual live Wikipedia content within a page. Possibly using a template.

The idea being that you wouldn't have to go outside of the corporate Wiki to view certain Wikipedia content.

Because we use MediaWiki as well it might confuse users if they followed a link, wound up at Wikipedia then tried to search Wikipedia instead of the corporate instance.

If this is possible it would be great. I could picture a template where it says "The following content is not maintained within our corporate Wiki but on Wikipedia. Any links in the content below will bring you outside of this Wiki and into another."

I think I have seen something before where you can include an entire page inside of another one but I'm not sure if you can do it across different Wikis.

Thanks, ~Eric
