[Developers] Get Freebase id from Wikipedia link

[Brian Karlak]

You can do a MQL lookup on /wikipedia/en key.  However, you need to  
urlescape the the punctuation in the key:

   {
	"guid" : null,
	"id" : "/wikipedia/en/Taz_$0028singer$0029"
   }

returns:

   {
     "guid" : "#9202a8c04000641f80000000083b4ce6",
     "id" : "/wikipedia/en/Taz_$0028singer$0029"
   }
