[Mediawiki-l] Editing lookahead

I have an idea for an extension to add to wiki. Wanted to put it on the list
to see if anyone has seen it before.

Many times users on my Intranet wiki will not remember the exact name of
pages that they want to link to. For example they might create a page called
[[Projects]], but when they are trying to reference it they might try
[[project]], [[projects]], or [[Project]].

I was going to add some javascript to the edit page to have it do a look up
and display a nice list of available options for the user to check from.

Anyone see anything like this? If you were using a wiki would you find it
useful?
