Yes, I know that. But WikiWords are much more user-friendly than free links
(esspecially if you have a  german keyboard).

As far as I know, Wikipedia disabled WikiWords and uses just free links,
because WikiWords look often very strange to site visitors not familiar with
it. The suggested functionality helps an administrator that most of the
WikiWords look quite normal when a page is displayed. And this can be
realized with just very view rendering rules.
