It is true that automatic wikifaction of everything is a bad idea, but
there is a very good application for restricted automatic wikifaction.
With that I mean that only specific special words in specified contexts
would be automatically linked. Such as technical terms and
abbreviations. The reason is that at the time of creating a specific
page there were no pages for all the terms and the original author did
not intent to create them, but when the wiki evolves they are created.
What I have in mind is that all the words that have an article in a
category "Auto_Words" are autowikified in articles in category, say,
"Auto_Me".

You are referring to automatic wikification. There is
an existing patch to
do this at
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2336. Automatic
wikification for Wikipedia has been proposed numerous times on this list.
Every time it is, people bring up good reasons why it should not be
implemented, especially on large wikis. For more information, search the
archives of this list.

Hi all,
I am planning to work on Mediawiki for google SoC, in particular I think
of
following project,
While editing we need to take care of adding relevant [[page title | some
text ]] for the words which already have a page created. there is no
functionality for this as I know.
I would like to know is this functionality required ?
This project at instance appears to be text parsing one which Please
suggest
on this.
I have last test on 8th/may so I have not gone into details as of now.
I am currently pursuing my Masters course in Computer science, from BITS
Pilani[http://www.bits-pilani.ac.in] , and Since I am not into web
design/programming yet I maintain a site and 2 internal wikimedia servers.
