Ender did this for his Haven & Hearth client. I'm not sure if there's plans on it for his Salem client or not.

I am currently working on this. Found that wiki has api to get info, not just RDF export. This would help to make proper wiki inside client. Not sure when this will be finished, though.

[sabinati]

wait, what? I thought you already had it implemented? wiki does RDF export afaik.

[EnderWiggin]

Current client indeed uses RDF export to get info. But not all info needed for proper wiki browser is available throught RDF. Most of all it lacks page content, but few minor things too. Plus it is a bit hard to properly parse.

is it different from the ringofbrogdar output? do you need me to change anything?

ringofbrodgar? You mean wiki in haven client? In haven I parse actual wiki page. They contain less info. But it is still a very crude parsing and takes lot more resources that it could have. I just had not put any real research into how you can get info from wiki back then.
As for Salem wiki - nothing real to change, I think. There is a need to change few pages to new infobox (or delete them) - like pages for teleport commands - and few pages need to be renamed, or redirects created - like Shrooms-on-a-Stick - they actually called 'Shrooms-on-a-Stick in game, with quote symbol.
Oh, and about wiki search - currently when you search for a short period it shows wiki results, and then they change to Google. Is it supposed to work that way?

The wiki search is still there, below the google search.
