No, I don't suggest that such a robot should be

For one thing, we do have articles about many common words and for
every year in history, but it would not make sense to make a link
for every mentioning of a year or such common words.
A year ago I have developed a web based "wikifyer" for the German
Wikipedia at
http://217.160.138.71/development/wikipedia/wikify/index.php (German
only), which calculates a list of all article titles which exist in the
German Wikipedia and also occur in his selected article, but are not yet
linked from this article. The user can then select a set of subjects to
be linked automatically and can afterwards copy&paste the resulting
article text. So the decision about the linking is still the decision of
the user, but he is better supported in knowing what he can link to and
to do that fast.
I didn't work on that tool since a year for reasons of low spare time,
but I still have the idea to rewrite that tool from scratch and to put
it onto the Wikimedia tool server to be able to use a recent copy of the
Wikipedia for the list of article titles. Does that sound like a useful
thing to you?
