Still it should be used sparingly. As Oldak said, different words are lost
on different people and that could easily result in overlinking. Firefox has
multiple lookup extensions that are perfect for things like this. - ~~~~

Dear All,
When an obscure term is used in a body of text that has no Wikipedia
article
associated with it, the author of the article, at the moment, has to
include
the meaning of the word in the article itself. Would it not make sense
to
have a way of quickly making links to look up a
word in Wiktionary,
something like {{define|miscellany}}.

There is a way. Just type [[wikt:ENTRYNAME|]] (the ending pipe is the pipe
trick, so the "wikt" doesn't show in the text).
