And having it available as an option's a great idea. But forcing it *absolutely* rules out some potential use-cases, which is rarely a good idea in software design; especially in the case of *tools* design, which is what Mediawiki is: it's a tool as much as it's an application.
Ah, OK, we agree :-)
Wait'll you see my next reply. :-)
I wouldn't make it the *default* unless and untilit proved to be massively the actual desired use case. I think it'd be a great feature and I'd really like it for real-world use (intranet wikis in particular - it's amazing how many people who use a computer all day every day get away with claiming to be unable to use them).
Who the hell would be typing internal URLs into an Intranet wiki?
