[Mediawiki-l] a few issues

[Brinkle, Jason]

Heh.  Ok, I guess that makes sense.  Nice to know it's available though.

Now how about my math tag problem? ;-)

No, this has generally been considered to be a Bad Idea, since this
should be up to the user and their browser-interface, rather than the
website they are viewing. (I believe shift-click, ctrl-click and the
middle mouse button allow users of some browsers to open a link in
either a new window or a new tab).

If you really really want to hack the code and insert one, you need to
look at includes/Skin.php: the function that generates ext. links is
"makeExternalLink()", or you could add it in
"getExternalLinkAttributes()"
