Anoted, it might be against the way you edit, but it is the way a wiki works. The goal is to have the reader click on link after link. That's why orphaned pages are such a concern for the wiki, incidentally — nothing links to them.

It can get frustrating to follow link after link, eventually losing your original place, but that's just the nature of the beast. I do agree with you, however, that some people over-link to any noun they see, with no intention of ever creating the page, just leaving it for someone else. It's good practice to try to create at least some of the pages one redlinks.
