Just one suggestion: Instead of manually creating an element, you could use wikify():

wikify(params.join(" ").toUpperCase(), place);

Also, while joining the params to form a single string is not unclever, I wonder whether it wouldn’t be better to only use params[0] (thus requiring the user to enclose the text in either quotes or double brackets).

FWIW, there’s a slightly updated plugin template available on the community wiki.
