Do you mean that mediawiki does not parse the page every time it is displayed? If so, I guess it is not a limitation.

Don't know. Try it and see.
You may want to setup templates to insert 5, 10, 100, etc. links at a time. Then you can just make a page using these templates then use the purge action (page_name?action=purge) to make it reparse.

MediaWiki supports all sorts of levels of cache, but the simplest - which I believe is switched on by default - is a completely internal cache of parsed pages. So no, it won't reparse the entire page for every view.
Ugg! Saving a page is slow enough! I can't imagine what would happen if it did! (Nor do I want to.)
