Dear WikiMedia-l,
The idea is to create a knowledge network like Freemind or TheBrain's PersonalBrain, but on WikiMedia.
All the bits and pieces are available: Link autocomplete from VisualEditor for rapid link creation, the DynamicPageList extension to include backlinks (which thoughts point to this thought?).
All but one:
To have effective thought creation and linking, I need pages to be created, and linkable by autocomplete, the second they are first linked to by any single page.
How would you do this? Is there a way to put placeholder text in a new page automatically, as a link to it is created for the first time in any other page in the wiki?
Thanks. Javier
Well I think it's easy to program a hook extension which scans the wikipage text and search the red links. It then creates an article with some predefined text. ----- Yury Katkov, WikiVote

Javier,
Perhaps you should have a look at Semantic MediaWiki and Semantic Forms. Or have you already? Also supports populating red links automatically: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms/Linking_to_forms#Popu....

Have fun, Javier! I think Semantic MediaWiki and all related extensions will help you a lot. Not only with creating pages automatically. If you want to ask questions to the SMW community, subscribe to https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/semediawiki-user.
