Nice! I know people have complained about jargon use on LW in the past. Have you thought about an option new users could activate which autolinks jargon to the corresponding wiki entry/archive post?
I’ve thought about things in that space but not that particular implementation, which is interesting. One problem is that an author might intend a different use of a given jargon term (esp. since some jargon is actually just “regular english words”, such as “focusing.”)
A couple other options are:
The author receives a prompt to consider adding a link to a jargon word as they use it (which they can ignore)
At the bottom of the post, there’s a collection of jargon-links that the author can decide whether they match the author’s use.
Both of those run the risk of being annoying for the writer.
