Thread:Project:Support desk/Is Mediawiki for me?

Sorry if this isnt the right place for me to ask be I couldnt find where else. I am interested in starting a wiki and Mediawiki seem just right but..... Since I have never used a wiki before, before using one, and since I have a very specific purpose for it, I need to ask:

- I understand that by creating a link, it also create a new page to where the link is pointing. Thats good, but I also want to do the opposite: - When I create a new page I also need Mediawiki to recognize that some words in other already created pages will need to be pointing to it. This is really the only thing that take me away from creating a wiki. Can it be that some sort of internal crawler search all the existing pages and find in it a word that titles my new page, and then automatically change them into link to that new page. I plan to have many pages and dont really ant to have to do that manually.

Many thanks
