Though I agree with what was said about web 2.0 and intelligent linking, I think that in many cases the contributors don't know if an article on the phrase exists (and if so, under what title).. perhaps some sort of suggesting links to the contributor for "redlinks" could be beneficial.. perhaps this could be done with some semantic relations, or other options, which I can't think of now..
One that I have been thinking of is basing the suggestions on existing links - if you go through Wikipedia, almost all pages on which the word 'Einstein' occurs will also have this word as a link (or part of a link). Thus, if "Einstein" or "Albert Einstein" occurs on a page without links, it's likely to be a term that is useful to link. On the other hand, the word "never" will occur unlinked on many pages, so it is not a good word to suggest as a link either. I haven't tried it out, but it does have the advantage of working for redlinks, disambiguation etcetera as well.
