Yes there is. To do so, log in as a Sysop and go to the article called
"MediaWiki:Whitelistedittext".
One easy way to get there is to search for this string using the "Go" button
- then choose the "create this page" link from the search results page.
The edit box should be preloaded with this text:
You have to $1 to edit pages.
Change this to the following:
You have to <span class="plainlinks">[http://mydomain.com log in]</span>
to edit pages.
Save the page with your changes. That's it!
In general, when you want to change static text that appears in the wiki,
that text is stored in a system message that can be overridden via an
article in the MediaWiki namespace (as above).
To see a list of all such system messages, check out "Special:Allmessages".
Hope this helps.
