I just found this Drupal module (while looking for something else):

http://drupal.org/project/freelinking

"The freelinking.module for Drupal implements a filter for input formats, 
creating links to existing content or links to new content creation via 
automatic linking of CamelCase words or words with double-square-bracket 
delimiters. It can be used 'wiki style' to provide links between content or 
easy creation of new linked content. It does not implement a 'wiki' type of 
content; this can be done with the flexinode module or using another core 
content type like blog or story."

So, together with the Wiki module, I think this will address item 4.
