Here’s one idea: Automatic or low-effort linking to wiki-tags when writing posts or comments. A few different versions of this:
When you write a comment or post that has contains the exact name of a tag/wiki article, those words automatically link to that tag. (This could potentially be turned on/off in the editor or in your personal prefs.)
The same as the above except it only happens if you do something special to the words, e.g. enclose them in [[double brackets]], surround them by [tag] [/tag], or capitalise correctly. (Magic the gathering forums often have something like this for linking to cards.)
The same as the above, except there’s some helpful search function that helps you find relevant wiki articles. E.g. you type [[ or you click some particular button in the editor, and then a box for searching for tags pops up. (Similar to linking to another page in Roam. This could also be implemented for linking to posts.)
Strong upvoted! I think something like this would introduce exactly the kinds of people whom we would like to use the wiki, to the wiki. I like the first version best, as many writers might not be aware of the ways to link to tags, and not be aware of what tags exist. Also, this nudges writers to use the same concepts for their words (because it is embarrassing to use a word linked to a tag in another sense then is explained in that tag).
