I like it! I think the next server feature I will write (after I get 
freed from my client work) is support for arbitrary links to other 
resources. One of the categories of links should be WikiPedia -- no 
doubt. If you're going to already write a bot to do this, then by all 
means I would love to have the links in MB.

The biggest question is how to automate the process to that the two 
systems stay in sync. Any ideas on that? Do you supposed we could get 
WikiPedia to store the MB artist id as part of the WikiPedia page? Of 
course, that could be done via a standard link that uses the artist id 
as a link.
