Hi Chris,

Your problem splits up into two parts:

1) Create Link with variables [solved]
2) Display information on a page, that is passed via URL parameters



=== About (1) ===

[[pagex?FirstName=Chris&Surname=Green]]

Is just a short way of writing the absolute URL:
http://www.yourhost.com/path/to/your/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=pagex?FirstName=Chris&Surname=Green

=== About (2) ===
I hope your Wiki is an internal Wiki. Becaus otherwise someone might create a link in the form:
http://www.yourhost.com/path/to/your/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=pagex?FirstName=<insert_some_cleverly_quoted_php_code, that_delets_all_pages_in_your_wiki> 

=> Never trust URL parameters! :-)
Have a look at the "simplevar" plugin. I think this is very close to what you need. This plugin already replaces tokens inside pages. It only reads the values from conf/default.php. You should easily be able to change this to (correctly quoted!) URL parameters.

Hope that helps,
