I just stumbled across [[The KnowledgeWeb]] on Recent Changes, and had a look at their demo, especially their demo search results (http://www.k-web.org/demo/search_results.html). It resembles "What links here", but goes beyond it.
I introduced James Burke and KnowledgeWeb articles to Wikipedia. I have glimpsed the KnowledgeWeb site now and then. They are progressing slowly but I believe James Burke will make it truly outstanding. As all projects he has already created.
I think it would be quite possible to have such a "view" linked from every wikipedia article. As brief contents, we could use the first (real) sentence of an article (that is, no table containing images, no language links, etc.). We could also display the first image of the article, if there is one. We don't have a "node type", though. (I tried to introduce flexible categories to wikipedia in the past, but would you listen to me? ;-)
To me neither. :-( Let's do categories classification programatically. Bots perhaps ?
Would there be, basically, interest in such a "smart browse" (or whatever) function?
Very much so.
I suppose we can improve current Wikipedia user interface to the Wikipedia's knowledge base. I would like views. Of the RC page at the minimum. Biology view or medicine view or technology view etc.
