Re: External Wiki links - Wikipedia
You have to use the correct URL. Wikipedia's URLS do not include spaces. So, in your example, the URL shoudl be:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_independence
not
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration of independence
Your wiki link should be:
((wp:Declaration_of_independence))
