sure, you just need someone to program that for you. Extensions are just readymade program modules that someone wrote for people who can't build it themselves. I'm pretty sure that a bot provides its own challenges/implications, though.

ETA: my comment below is a lot of technobabble, so to answer the pertinent bits -- yes, the extension does useful linking now, it should recognize and correctly link [[Sue Fangirl]] as well as [[The Sue Fangirl Club]].

What I meant by "non-destructive" is that if I understand "create link through pageview", the link is not altered in the code itself, so if an article disappears, no dead link should result. Which would be cool, but obv. you'd then load up the linking ...mechanism with each pageview. Ouch.

I may be understanding that wrong, though! I'm just a wiki dabbler and don't speak actual code.
