Sounds cool. But why not just make another article?
Because we have (whether you like them or not) articles such as
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aviation%2C_aerospace_and_aeronautica…
which help reduce the number of stub articles and are much easier to follow
than the equivalent wiktionary article (just look at the disambiguation
article for [[pitch]].
In fact - links to disambign articles are a perfect use. You can make it
clear what sense of a word you are linking to.
