hi =) I'm going to explain my question, I think that way is clearer
I have created an article "cat" and I want all the "cat" words in the whole wiki link to that article. There's a way to do that? (not manually of course =P)
Thanks!
No. Not with MediaWiki.

Copy and pasting would only work if there was only one page to be updated. I would definitely recommend using a bot, and I have never used one from MediaWiki's framework, but they are rather trivial to build.

I can think of two ways to accomplish this without resorting to a manual process.
First, install and configure pywikipediabot, then use its rename.py script to make the desired changes. You should be able to have the script iterate through a set of pages (all pages in a given namespace, for example), and convert " cat " to " [[cat]] ". This would need to be run for each such topic that you wanted to link to.
Second, you could make a customized change to the MediaWiki program to do such a conversion "on the fly", as each page was being processed for view.
There are pros and cons to each method. For example, the first involves more pre-processing but would result in quicker page delivery. The second involves no editing of the actual data on the pages, but would cost some processing each time the page was viewed. Neither method is easy, and would require you to spend some time getting things set up and tested.
See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Using_the_python_wikipediabot for more information on pywikipedia.
Also, there may be existing MediaWiki extensions which might do what you need to do. See the following:

Good luck!

What are you going to do when you create an article called 'Black cat'? Word cat should then link to both cat and "Black cat". And what about when the article treats about a different matter? An article about programming saying you should use [[cat]] program shouldn't have a link to the article about Felis silvestris catus.

You could probably use a bot for that (if it's a few specific words at least): http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bots
I don't have any experience with those myself though.
