True, seems pretty risky. Maybe the extension could take advantage of the edit history and warn the user about recent changes?

Edit: Unrelated to this issue, but I have a more general idea for the kinds of inputs this extension may accept. It could be an omnibox command [0] that takes the input text, passes it through some search engine with "site:wikipedia.org", visits the first result and finally grabs the URL. So you don't have to know any part of the URL - you can just type the name of the thing.
