[Search-l] Automatically linking to Wikipedia

There are many articles in Wikipedia with no machine readable titles 
like "Foo (singer)", "Bar (1990 film)", so this can't be automatically 
linked in an easy way. On the other hand, we need a local copy of our 
miniarticles to prevent Wikipedia servers falls, so fetch is a bad idea 
in my opinion. Also, if Wikia Search fetchs the first lines of every 
Wikipedia article automatically, the program has to know where to put 
{{keyword}} template, or substitute every [[link]] for a 
{{keyword|foo|bar}}.
