Seems a much more general feature than the random headings in this article[edit]

I DuckDuckGo'd the web for "wikimedia tool automatically create links" and one link was to this page. It lists some very specific instances of automatic hyperlinking but surely there are hundreds: the original WikiWikiWeb's automatic CamelCase linking, Bugzilla's bug NNN, Phabricator's TNNN , etc. Plus the conventions of linking @UserName, #HashtagName,$STOCKTICKERSYMBOL Twitter, etc., etc., etc. Maybe these are already discussed in a Wikipedia page. The Hyperlink article doesn't have a section on this, seems it could.

I deleted one section for wikihyperlinks.com by @Youssefavx in 2020, a dead "Coming soon" page for a hosted python project.
