External links should be visually distinguished from internal links, through applying css styles to a.external links to add external link icons: http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.17/vector/images/external-link-ltr-icon.png and the others: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links#External_link_icons
Created attachment 10004 [details] Adds an external link icon to external links Note this uses the image suggested however we may want to use another or use a relative url instead of the absolute url.
Jon, Since this patch awaits review, I've added the "patch" and "need-review" keywords. Next time, you can save time by doing this yourself! Check out https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker#Submit_your_changes Thanks.
fixed in r112608 Note fix uses a data image uri. We probably want to fallback to an image file for older browsers - for that I left a TODO note as I wasn't sure where to point to without creating a new image in the repository.
