Feature request - improve ease of Wikipedia linking

[rjbull]

In this post, 4wd kindly corrected a munged Wikipedia link I'd put in.

If you use the reply box and click the button to enter an ordinary URL, the forum software pops up a little dialog so you can put it in in correct form, which is:

Code

[url=http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=42726.msg399785#msg399785]Re: Suggestion: A new GUI for ExifTools [/url]

But if you want to enter a Wikipedia link, the relevant button just gives:

Code

[wiki][/wiki]

with no indication of exactly what is wanted, which is similar to a plain URL:

Code

[wiki=Comparison_of_metadata_editors]Comparison of metadata editors[/wiki]

which gives

Comparison of metadata editors^w

Evidently just the Wikipedia page is needed.  Putting in the whole URL gives a Wikipedia error:

Code

[wiki=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_metadata_editors]Comparison of metadata editors[/wiki]

Please can

Code

in the reply box either be replaced by a dialog similar to the plain URL one, or otherwise be a bit clearer about the correct form to put in?

<sigh>  I seem to have made a meal of this...

Understood, I'll try to fix it.  A dialog would be nice, and putting in the full url shouldn't cause error.
