The entire idea of a Wiki is that users (i.e. _the_readers_) do most of
the writing. One can't expect them to be computer savvy. At the same
time, it is imperative that the texts actually do contain links to other
pages, wherever needed. (In other words, links should not remain
uncreated just because "it is hard to do".)
The simplest way to achieve this is, just have page names in CamelCase.
Then any word in CamelCase is assumed a link.
(It's not a matter of technology, it is entirely a matter of what is a
simple enough way to create links, so that folks actually get around to
doing it!)
Invent an "easier" way, and you'll do the Wiki culture a big service.
