I want to be able to control the "default broken link"
without altering the underlying wikitext. (Ideally I
would like to do this on an article-by-article basis,
but on a site-wide basis would be a good start.) This
is intended to allow re-use or mirroring of article
content across multiple wikis.

I did know all that, but thanks very much for your reply
in any case.
