    That’s a great idea — we’d love to be able to do this. We may make it a more generalizable function in the browser, though.

    I was about to suggest this, too-- something along the lines of internal linking in Wiktionary and Wikipedia. For example, if I write a definition for "creepy" and the definition includes synonyms, it would be nice to have a handy way to see those definitions as well.

    Yes, I was about to post the same thing--this project is a great idea and we don't want it to turn into UrbanDictionary. UrbanDictionary started as a great idea (that words have multiple meanings and the meanings come from how people use them, not from a dictionary), but it's gotten so full of un-vetted junk, inside jokes, and spam that it's hardly useful as a resource anymore. There needs to be some quality control process here.
