A little something called "wiki-competing-topics" i.e. find related competing material so for example if i know about nlp (Neuro-linguistic programming), i can find it on a wikipedia. you see the topic of nlp and related "SEE ALSO" subject are linked these are supporting links to the article. however i think it should also have a section for --- competing subjects ---, containing subjects that EXTENDS a topic, is a SUPER-SET (or CONTAINS) or SUBSET of a topic, things that PRECEDES/POST-CEDES a topic. also opposite ideas or beliefs of a topic (like a antonym) Rather than the thesaurus of SEE ALSO I'm not saying these should be the only categories, but a starting point for debate internally and externally. i would really for example like to find about "action learning" from the nlp page action learning is very similar to nlp. nlp is distributed in psychology books,and action learning is a biz-ness- self help idea, it is hard to get from one to the other. Wikis can make it easy The benefit is that you could also have greater insight into a subject, and find better ones easily. i.e. better educate people not 1 article/topic at a time but many topics at a time. This would be a great reference tool for everyone from bloggers to business to students and academia to researchers and the normal everyday user.
This is a policy thing that requires no software support.
