i have the firefox search extension for wikipedia...so i just type my keyword in the search box. quite handy...and i use it extensively for other sites (imdb, dictionary.com, answers.com, etc).

Yep, what I do as well.

I use a keyword shortcut for Firefox that searches in Google for site:en.wikipedia and it uses its feeling lucky feature.
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:en.wikipedia.org+%s&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&btnI=I'm+Feeling+Lucky
I just type in the location bar, w foobar and it always brings up the right wikipedia entry (no disambiguation pages ever) and best of all no mouse clicking. It's the fastest method I've come up with. I also have another one keyword without the I'm Feeling Lucky.

Since google is my homepage.

Same here. I've never gone to Wiki without a link I found in google or that someone posted.

If you ever edit Wikipedia articles, this quickly becomes very handy. When I am actually looking for information on a topic, I typically use Google.

Opera FTW

Firefox quick search keyword "wp" FTW.

Alt-D "wiki xxx" where xxx is my search term

the "wiki" command does this: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=...ite%3Aen.wikipedia.org+xxx&btnG=Search

I use Opera. Crazybrowser can do it too.
