Hi people. This is my first post to wikitech-l, and its a biggun. I've been mulling over this idea for a while now and have finally gotten the electrons moving...
I propose a number of changes to the Wikipedia software to enable "software assisted context resolution", or if you prefer "software assisted disambiguation". The primary purpose of these changes is to allow users to more easily resolve ambiguous links at the time they are created, or if necessary, at some later stage. I stress that this is not "automatic" link resolution, although the process will be invoked automatically in many cases.
This should be discussed on wikipedia-l, not wikitech-l. Wikitech-l should just be for code implementation issues, not policy decisions that everyone can and should weigh in on.
