[TYPO3-doc] Linking to extensions in the Wiki

[David Bruehlmeier]

Hi Daniel,

I don't know why it takes a SOAP-interface to achieve this. The new tag 
simply needs to convert <extension>cal</extension> into

http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/cal/current/

So all it takes would be a little string handling, adding the address 
'http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/' in front of the extension 
key and adding '/current/' to the end (and of course adding the 
wiki-markup for external links).

I don't know MediaWiki very well, but I figure that this can be achieved 
by using this hook:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgExtensionFunctions

What do you think?

Greetings,
Dave.
