so mediawiki didnt have auto interlink right ? for example i have a page called (CDROM) , when later on someone create a page have word (CDROM) is that possible to auto generate a link to (CDROM) page without type any square brackets ?
An extension to add it wouldn't be too hard to write, although a bit of a performance drain on a large site. It depends on the traffic and performance levels desired.
I'd think that there are some other questions about just what the right specifications for such a feature should be.
For example, let's say that you don't have a CDROM article now but one gets added in the future. Should existing pages be rescanned to generate auto-links?
A more subtle issue is how to deal with ambiguity. Perhaps this is less of a problem with a narrow purpose wiki, but for wikipedia...
