Ok, I don't really get the organisation of the MediaWiki's help, but it seems that the only documentation on "magic words" is here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Magic_words
(couldn't find anything at mediawiki.org)
However, that doc doesn't refer to "magic links". And neither seems to refer to the obivous fact that http:// gets converted into an external link...
Some links between these documentations would be good. I'm not sure if I can just directly edit those pages?

True - the documentation is in quite a state at the moment. There is a move to sort out the Mediawiki docs, and to consolidate everything at mediawiki.org, but it is a slow process and so far there are not many people participating. Any help is always appreciated, so the short answer is yes - you can directly edit those pages, and it would be appreciated.
