User:Nickj/Can We Link It

G'day All,

There's a link suggesting tool I'm temporarily putting out there for you all to have a play with and to give feedback and comments on (either via email or on my talk page).

What it does is it takes an article of your choosing from the English Wikipedia, and suggests bits of text in that article that could potentially be linked. You can then accept or reject those individual suggestions, and then save your changes back to the Wikipedia. Please do have a look at WP:OVERLINK for some ideas about how to use your editorial judgment when selecting which links to employ. Also before adding a wikilink to an article, follow the suggested links to the article that they point to, in order to avoid subtle mistakes. For example, many people have the same name; linking to a football player in a biochemistry article is probably not correct.

It tries to do this in a reasonably pleasant UI, where you see the list of suggestions, and then simply select "yes", "no", or "don't know" for each suggestion, and click "Preview with Added Links".
