There's a neat feature on Wikipedia pages where pages are related, they have a template at the bottom of the page with links to all of the relevant nodes.
For example, the Linkin Park entry will have a template at the bottom that has links to all their members pages, singles and albums, etc. This template is editable and when you make changes to it, it gets updated across all the pages that use it.
Seems like a great idea, and I'd love to implement something similar in a Drupal wiki. Does anyone know if it's possible using existing modules?

rötzi's wikitemplate module
rötzi wrote a Mediawiki template module for Drupal 5. It is not available at d.o or at test.tschannen.net, but I suspect the template module available at http://webgear.blogspot.com/2008/09/creating-wiki-in-drupal-5.html is in fact the same.
Possibly...
...although I think I'd go about it a bit differently than that. Rather than having it be a user editable template, I'd set up a view the displays when you're showing a wiki page. Have the view iterate through the Taxonomy terms that you have set for the current article, and for each term, display a list of other articles with the same term. That way you're leveraging Drupal's organization features to maintain the content for you, rather than having to maintain it yourself.
