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". ext Gregory Szorc wrote:

That was anyway what I need personally sometimes, and just for the comments except from performance related issues there should not be any problem with such a extension/feature since we all do it manually every time. Anyway thanks, I would try to look for some other interesting work. A overall look on projects available http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2006#Evaluate_PostgreSQL_as_a… to me intresting to me following was straight - get this existing PostgreSQL support working properly again - benchmark it on heavy simulated loads can I get comments on what exactly you mean by - study the scalability of using Postgres' built-in replication support for large installations such as Wikipedia If possible can I ask what is the motivation for using postgres (I have always worked with Mysql only :( . ) On 5/3/06, Brion Vibber <brion(a)pobox.com> wrote: -- Regards.
