Description T. Gries 2012-01-30 20:50:46 UTC 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgExternalLinkTarget describes the following setting in DefaultSettings.php / LocalSettings.php .

/**
 * Set a default target for external links, e.g. _blank to pop up a new window
 */
// $wgExternalLinkTarget = false;
$wgExternalLinkTarget = '_blank';

However, changing false to '_blank' does _not_ force the default target for external links in MediaWiki trunk. I selected "major" severity because it concerns links.

It works, isn't a bug (&action=purge was my friend).
