The idea of a back-link feature has been tossed around. That was a feature of Ward's original WikiWiki. It's helpful.
Can you tell us more about that? I am imagining that this means you'd link, say, at the bottom of a page, all the pages that link to the given page? That could be cool.
I'm not Tim, but I've come across the backlinks concept on a number of other wikis...
I was thinking of Ward's WikiWiki. http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiUrl explains what I was referring to. There's a line on that page that says http:wiki?search=PageTitle (search for links to a page).
Like Claudine said, it's a little easier when the page names are all bumpy case -- they stand out in content. IMHO, a search for links in the 'pedia would need to take into account both forms of free links: with and without underscores. It should ignore case, too.
