think you just need a view helper;
require ‘uri’
def wikipedia_link(text)
search_param = URI.encode(text)
url =
“Searching - Wikipedia”
return link_to(text, url)
end
does that work?
As far as I know, wikipedia has no API that would allow
to get information directly (like amazon has for example)
So you can only use Matthews way to go with the URL.
There is dbpedia, some approach to get wikipedia in a
form for querying, but I don’t know if it’s any good.

or maybe you wanted a controller action :wiki_search or something
def wiki_search
search_param = URI.encode(params[:query])
url =
“Searching - Wikipedia”
redirect_to url
end
