Hello
Is it possible to make wiki linking (like [[article name]]) an
automatic
process for articles ?
I mean, like you write text in a wiki page, then you click >>suggest
links>>
button, then it links all the applicable article names in the page,
then you
review and save the page (if not, just discard them). making sure not
to
duplicate the links and using a link exception list so that words
aren't
linked (like is are she he they them could can etc.)..

I think most people create links as they go along, using their judgement as to which links would be helpful and which would not (i.e. which concepts might need further explanation). If you can write an article (decide what information is important and how much explanation to give), you should be able to choose the links as you write. They are the same skill.
The suggestor would not be intelligent and couldn't judge which links are related and which would be appropriate to suggest. I see no advantage over just going through the article and placing double square brackets around particular concepts, words and phrases.

Actually, that is part of what Web 2.0 is about. It is the contribution of intelligent people which makes a wiki.
