Hi Slawa, thank you for your interest in developing around Wikipedia and
MediaWiki!

I'm a developer of http://wikify.appointment.at/ - a web service to enrich
any text with links to Wikipedia article. This is just a JavaScript
experiment of mine, but friends keep asking me why this feature is not
available in Wikipedia/MediaWiki itself.
You might want to ask/propose directly at the discussion page of the
Wikify project:

Apparently there was automatic wikification in the early days, but it
was removed:

If you want to offer this feature to other MediaWiki based sites, then a
first step would be to offer it as an extension:

So here I'm just making sure MediaWiki developers are aware of the
idea/function. I'm sure you can do it better than me, but let me know if I
can help you in any way.
I hope these links are useful for getting your idea closer to the people
that potentially could use it and/or could help you improving it.
