The VirusWiki experiment is now underway. The easiest way to explain it is to visit the site and explore it.

I've added WikiLink's to the BBS! This means you can create a link in a BBS message just like you do in wiki, either with a WikiWord or using square brackets around a word or phrase like [religion].

This is still very experimental, so if you see any bugs or problems please send mail to david@lucifer.com.

Since this was adding unintended WikiLinks to old messages, I've changed the link notation to double % signs.  Use two pairs to enclose the word(s) you want to link to the wiki like so: WikiLink.

Also note that if the message contains no YaBB codes (in square brackets) and no smilies, the WikiLinks will not be converted: %%WikiLink%%.

In case you were wondering, the technological reason is that the YaBB code does some pre-processing on the message to determine whether it has to transform the content, and the pre-processing doesn't look for the double percent signs. I may fix this in the future, but it looks pretty tricky.
