Ah, well that's not an external link, and thus unrelated to this thread! ;-)

PDFs: 1) That's a browser plugin. It works in Firefox, and possibly other browsers, but not all. Eg. this PDF link opens in-browser in Firefox, but not in Chromium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/__Scrabble#cite_note-4 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrabble#cite_note-4> 2) Not all PDF links work even in Firefox, eg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/__Scrabble#cite_note-12 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrabble#cite_note-12> Deadlinks: Very interesting. Thanks Nemo, for letting us know. I've added links to that page at Enwiki, and viceversa.

Broken links should be fixed, but in the case where they can't the internet archive things sounds pretty interesting. * * * * *Jared Zimmerman *\\Director of User Experience \\Wikimedia Foundation M : +1 415 609 4043 <tel:%2B1%20415%20609%204043> | : @JaredZimmerman <https://twitter.com/__JaredZimmerman <https://twitter.com/JaredZimmerman>> On Thu, Oct 31, 2013 at 2:19 AM, Federico Leva (Nemo) <nemowiki@gmail.com <mailto:nemowiki@gmail.com> <mailto:nemowiki@gmail.com <mailto:nemowiki@gmail.com>>> wrote: Brion's email reminds me that we sometimes use an icon resembling Adobe's A to identify PDF, which is very ugly for an open standard.
