I've just moved a runner that searches in Mediawikis to kdereview, for 
inclusion 
in 4.4.

The runner can search in arbitrary mediawikis, you need to specify which 
mediawiki to 
search in its .desktop file. (If you want to add search for another mediawiki, 
just 
add a .desktop file for it, and you'll be fine).

A line such as X-Plasma-Args=http://techbase.kde.org/api.php tells the runner 
where 
to query, this differs per mediawiki instance and is the only needed 
configuration 
option (other than name, comment and icon, of course).

I've currently added support for techbase and wikipedia, it's of course trivial 
to do 
more. There's also a .desktop file for userbase, which doesn't work (probably 
userbase's XML api is disabled).

The mediawiki runner has been written by Richard Moore and me and is 
(hopefully) one 
of the first pieces of Project Silk going into KDE.

Please let me know if there's anything wrong with it, or where you see room for 
improvement and I'll address it.
