Wikipedia doesn't use Allwiki. Allwiki is the idea that all the words, phrases or expressions are links to Wikipedia or Wiktionary articles. For several years after the founding of Wikipedia, there was a long-running debate about how many links should be present in an article, and what kind of links they should be. Allwiki was one of the proposals brought up at that time, but was rejected in favor of the far less strongly worded Build the web and its stricter counterpart, Only make links that are relevant to the context.
An example of Allwiki:
- Allwiki is the idea that people create pages where all of the words, sentences or expressions are links to Wikipedia or Wiktionary articles.
We want to build the web, but we don't want it to collapse under its own weight!
