:: I understand your problem.  The risk of broken links, for example due to renamed (moved) articles and headings, is why on the forum I more or less always supplement links to the wiki with permanent links.  If the regular link is broken, very likely the permanent link would not be.  Unless you really do not want to refer to the article as it was written when you linked to it it might be a good idea to also have a permalink.  For better or worse a wiki will typically have ever-changing content.  It is one of their weaknesses, but also their strengths.

:: PS. Notifications does not work [http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Rominet&diff=121110&oldid=121109 like that] on a MediaWiki wiki.  Typically only edits to someones discussion page will trigger a notification (for example wanting asking me on my discussion page to have a look here).  I have not done that, but one can also change the preferences so that one get an email if there is changes in either ones discussion page or when pages on ones watchlist are changed.
