Consider expanding wikilink search results

Description

⚠️This task is in draft mode.

Consider expanding wikilink search results to include a wider set of article suggestions. These "suggestions" could include:

Context

"...while it is easy to type on a desktop device, it is downright painful to write long sequences on a mobile device. I'd suggest possibly providing existing links on the article as possible link locations, in addition, it would be pretty good to collect Special:whatlinkshere or related articles entries from the main namespace, as possible link targets." | Source

Wikilinks already included within the article

Note that many wikis have style rules that frown upon duplicate links (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking#Duplicate_and_repeat_links from en.wikipedia, https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verlinken#H%C3%A4ufigkeit_der_Verweise from de.wikipedia, etc.). So suggesting links already present might cause more problems than it solves.
