I haven't worked with the updated extension yet, but the old one drove.me.insane (was installed on the work wiki). Thing is, there's no way to *remove* linking, so if an article is deleted, you create a broken link. I basically hand-removed thousands of dead links in the work wiki. Yeah, still at it. UGH.
(actually, there's usually no need to delete links with the search method that's installed on Fanlore, you could just create a redirect. I'd have to look up the new search that's in test atm, though, and see how it interacts with that.)
also, it used to link every single instance of the article in one entry. Plus it didn't grasp compound articles -- so instead of [[Star Treck]] it would link [[Star]] [[Treck]] which...omg, SO nonsensical.
okay, let me look the new extension up, maybe it's improved these nightmarish qualities by now.
