hello, Beginning , excuse you all for my "Bad English" , we speak french in my country..:)
Is there any implmentation of automatic linking page for mediawiki ? I would like know if it'll be possible to have this functionality on wikimedia, to edit a page without regard how to produce page link with double brackets. I mean if in a page there are some words related on the name to articles or pages , wikimedia must automatically transform those words as link to thoses pages without that the editor need to put thoses word between brackets.
I saw on the net that it'was a basic function to all wiki engine . Why it's not implemented in mediawiki ???
I hope that i've been understood.
thanks for your help

Not an official one.

No, it will not.

Most wiki engines approach this problem indirectly by enacting a convention for page names, most often CamelCase. Since MediaWiki allows free-form links and page names, auto-linking would be:
* generally useless on wikis with large amounts of pages, * visually unpleasant, as it would dramatically increase the amount of per-article links, * and (prohibitively) computationally expensive to be done in any borderline-useful way.
In general, it's a bad idea in practice.

Well, there's always http://tools.wikimedia.de/~kate/cgi-bin/wikify.
Not that I'd recommend it for any serious use.
thanks Ilmari Karonen i 've seen our website to link converter i made a test, i was very enjoyed , it 's very fine, but the problem is how to use the script on a wiki website ???

The OP asked about implementations for MediaWiki, although Kate's tool is useful for seeing just how pointless such a feature is on a large-scale wiki.

I think what Ivan wanted to write was:

This feature is not in MediaWiki because MediaWiki is for an encyclopedia and it looks more professional to have titles with a space in them ("Hash table" instead of "HashTable", "Alabama" instead of "AlaBama" or "AlabamA").
In my opinion, CamelCase (as it is called) is merely a relic of old wikis, and should not be used any more.
You can read about this: (some articles have french versions) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase_and_Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CamelCase_and_Wikipedia
