I've used Autolinking in a wiki of my own, and oh God, it was painful. I disabled that extension within a couple of weeks and never looked back.

There are bots out there programmed to do some of the tedious tasks, but it would probably be useful to have people knowledgeable in Python before we attempted to do something? Wikipedia bots usually have at least one user each in charge of checking everything the bot does to ensure it's not malfunctioning.
