LOL, from the frying pan into the fire! Thank you, Brian, for taking your
time. I guess I will have to live with it for a while.
(P/S: I know that modifying mediawiki directly is bad and that's why I dare
not upgrade.)

during upgrades, but if you can find a way to do that OK.. Probably isn't
too hard to find grepping through the source.
Otherwise, you might try jQuery if you are new to javascript, since it
abstracts a lot of complicated things away:

You basically have to figure out how to say, "Take all hyperlinks in class
new and change their href attribute to be
http://en.wikipedia.org/wikiplus
their innerHTML attribute"
I just learned that using FireBug.

Hi, I find it so difficult even after I download
Firebug. The right panel
didn't say anything of Comon.css and Common.js, only main.css.
How about tweaking the mediawiki files? Maybe I will find that easier
because I do go in and tinker with it, sometimes.
