[Mediawiki-l] link picker

[John Moorhouse]

In a similar vein to my query about semi-automatic linking I was 
wondering if any one knows of anything that might do the following.

As an editor I create a some wiki text that includes a link such as 
[[the link page|This is the pretty text]].

What I'm wonder if it would be possible to to is for the editor to just 
type [[This is the pretty text]] and save the page.

The page would display the link in red as an unknown link, and what 
would seem to be good would to offer the editor when they click on the 
link a choice of
1. Linking to a current page
2. Creating a new page

If the editor chooses 1 they would then be taken to a search page where 
they could then search for and find the page they want to link to, which 
would then re-write the link for them as [[the link page|This is the 
pretty text]]

I can't find anything out there but was just wondered ...

Thanks

John
