Creating an absolute symlink would be a violation to the Policy,
however, there is another solution:
ln -s ../../usr/share/dict/words /etc/moin/dict

Thank you for pinging me on the issue ;)
A few weeks ago, I noticed that the symlink in /etc/moin/words didn't
work, but my attention went away. I have just digged the issue, the
problem is just that this file should be named "dict" (see patch
attached)

What about multi-language support?
scenario 1: An admin has two wikis in two different languages
scenario 2: A wiki some contents/pages in different languages
I believe that both problem could be solved if moinmoin where looking
for a distinct dictionary, based on the current page language (see
statement like "#language fr")
I have just submitted:

It seems to only work for dict file in /etc/moin/ and
in /var/lib/mywiki/ (for typical installation).
