An additional data point: one of our users discovered that by doubling the '/'s
in the URL, it gets generated correctly: i.e., http:////www.harding-family.org
It looks ugly but it works. I hope this provides more information so that this
can be tracked down. I'd hate to have to edit every page that has an external
link on it to change http(s)://whatever to http(s):////whatever....

That seems very strange - can you send us a

=== How to edit a Wiki page ===
: A useful link on How to edit a Wiki page can be found
[
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page here]
gets rendered as:
<a name="How_to_edit_a_Wiki_page"></a><h3> <span
class="mw-headline"> How to
edit a Wiki page </span></h3>
<dl><dd> A useful link on How to edit a Wiki page can be found <a
href="http:/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page" class="external text"
title="http:/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page"
rel="nofollow">here</a>
</dd></dl>
notice that
en.wikipedia.org is left out of the URL. The wierd thing is
that when I click on the link on the rendered page, it actually does take
me to a wikipedia article but not on how to edit a page, it takes me to
the article on Wiki. Just to make sure it wasn't anything wierd about the
URLs, here are some other messed up links:

Even though I upgraded mediawiki from 1.6.7 to 1.9.3, the rest of the
supporting packages were not touched - apache, php, and mysql are all
the same.
* MediaWiki: 1.9.3
* PHP: 5.1.2 (apache2handler)
* MySQL: 5.0.18
