This has been proposed numerous times. There is even a bug and basic patch in Bugzilla somewhere. Automatic wikification sounds like a great idea until the vocabulary of wiki articles grows big and you run into three problems: 1) It takes a long time to scan the article on save looking for matching articles (you have to search for one, two, three, four, ... word titles) 2) You get false positives on the wikification, especially with common words. For example, my university's common name is "Case." Every time someone types "In case of ...", you get a false positive on "case." You then have to maintain a dictionary of words or phrases to not automatically wikify. This compounds #1. 3) [[you]] [[encounter]] [[paragraphs]] [[like]] [[this]] [[that]] [[are]] [[very]] [[annoying]] [[to]] [[read]] [[and]] [[edit]]. Many wiki software packages use CamelCase to denote wiki links and CamelCased words are automatically wikified. MediaWiki does not do this. I hope that answers your questions.
