Is there a way that when you write the name of one page on another page it automatically makes a link to that page? I know you can manuelly link them but can you set it to automatically link them? For example if I was writing a page about one pro tennis player named Novak Djokovic and I wrote "He beat Rafael Nadal". Is there a way that Rafael Nadal would be a link to the page called Rafael Nadal automatically? —This unsigned comment is by Awesume (wallcontribs).

Nope, the text has to be properly formatted to become a link. Of course there are always ways to work around such issues, but in this case it doesn't seem to be worth it. Sovq 18:08, October 16, 2011 (UTC)
There are also problems related to the etiquette of the specific wiki. For example, on wikipedia, only the first occurrence of Rafael Nadal would be a link to the page, all other occurrences would be normal text.
