the Degrees Of Separation between 2 Wiki pages, whether in the same wiki or not.

Everything Is A Graph - count the shortest number of jumps to get from one page to another

find the shortest path is a Traveling Salesman Problem (Wiki Wiki Web:Traveling Salesman Problem)

While you could think of every WikiWord as being a Category, you could also select a small set of WikiWord-s as Category names, and assign every other WikiWord to one of those categories based on its Wiki Distance. (If you felt the need to mimic the WebLog category pattern.)
