[Developers] freebase-suggest modification

[Brian Karlak]

The wikipedia title and ID are stored as the /wikipedia/en and / 
wikipedia/en_id keys on the topic, and can be retrieved by the  
following MQL:

   {
     "a:key" : [
       {
         "namespace" : "/wikipedia/en",
         "value" : null
       }
     ],
     "b:key" : {
       "namespace" : "/wikipedia/en_id",
       "value" : null
     },
     "guid" : "#9202a8c04000641f800000000009216a"
   }

Currently, all valid titles and redirects for an article are stored  
in /wikipedia/en.  The /wikipedia/en_id key, however, should point to  
the most recent wikipedia ID for the topic.  You can access the  
wikipedia page with this ID using the following URL:

	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=82976
