As I understand it all urls that wikipedia serves (and have variables in) are in the form,
http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=NAMEOFARTCLE&action=ACTION
So couldn't we just use regular expression matching to convert any ampersands between "http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=" and "&action=" ?
