Hello. Is there any wiki syntax to include in [URL links] that will open the link in a new browser/window? Or do I need to revert to using regular a href and target HTML tags? The majority of my wiki users do not know HTML, so I'm hoping there's a wiki syntax alternative. Thanks, Colleen Robledo
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Opening_external_links_in_a_new_window may be what you want, though it is a sitewide change.
This is what is implemented on http://www.chainki.org even though some in this forum (ha! ha!) think opening external links in a new window is rude.

It is. I had to extra install an extension that foces them to not open in a new window. I want to choose where they open by myself, thank you very much.
Best wishes,
