Suggestion for a [wiki] tag in the forum BBCode

Question

So...would it be possible to have something like
[wiki=HAL]this[/wiki]
and have it work like  the normal url bbcode, except for the wiki?
[url=wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL]this[/url]
Maybe not KISS, but definately useful

Alright, I have a (somewhat messy) patch for fluxBB 1.2.22.

< function handle_wiki_tag($pagename, $link = '')

< global $pun_user;
<
< $wikiurl = 'http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/';
<
< $full_url = str_replace(' ', '_', $wikiurl.$pagename);
<
< $link = ($link == '' || $link == $pagename) ? ((strlen($pagename) > 55) ? substr($pagename, 0 , 39).' … '.substr($pagename, -10) : $pagename) : stripslashes($link);
<
< return '<a href="'.$full_url.'">'.$link.'</a>';

< 'handle_wiki_tag(\'$1\')',
< 'handle_wiki_tag(\'$1\', \'$2\')');
> '<span style="color: $1">$2</span>');
It is based on the handle_url_tag function and supports the following syntax:
[wiki]Arch Linux[/wiki] (returns <a href="http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux">Arch Linux</a>)
[wiki=Arch Linux]Somesuch[/wiki] (returns <a href="http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux">Somesuch</a>)
EDIT: The above patch is for /include/parser.php
