Not an official one.
like know if it'll be possible to have this
functionality on wikimedia
No, it will not.
I saw on the net that it'was a basic function to
all wiki engine . Why it's not
implemented in mediawiki ???
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.
