The way I would implement this is to add a bot that parses [[wiki-links]] the same way that the wiki parses them.
That way, if someone wants to automatically link to a wiki page for a neologism, they just have to put those brackets around the phrase.
This feature should work both for posts and for comments.
It might also be a good idea for the bot to be able to parse links in this form: [[standard name|alternate name]]. Another option is to create a redirect page on the wiki for any alternative titles for a concept.
Once this is implemented, we can go back through the old posts and add these wiki links wherever it would be appropriate.

Well, I don’t think this requires a bot; if it’s implemented at all, it could just be in the comment/post—parsing engine.
You wouldn’t even need a bot—just an upgrade to the Markdown syntax.
