      Use Levenshtein Distance for Auto-Links

      Regular links too, but auto-links would make the feature that much better. Allow for spelling differences using the Levenshtein distance, where the match is appropriate if the article title is smaller than (or equal to) the search text and is within a viable number of differences for the given length, with anchors placed near the beginnings (and ends, if the size is similar) of the search terms. It's likely that only certain edit-operations should be permitted for certain-sized words. For example, changing "cat" to "car" would not be appropriate even though the distance is only 1, so perhaps words below a certain length should only support edits by addition ("cat" to "cats").

      Pushing this to the future, however, since there are other features and issues which need attention far sooner.

      A feature like this would be in direct conflict to the resolution to the autolink 100K problem. In addition, it's easy enough to support plurals by creating Synonyms. As for supporting spelling mistakes, no.
