That would most likely require running all core parsers. Not sure if using
parser functions like {{fullurl:}} should be parsed. I would vote "No", since
they are often used in summaries to perhaps explain things.
The last thing we want is having to use in an edit summary.

True, the edit summary can't be edited. So perhaps we should only allow
external links in log entries (which limites the exposure) and not in edit
summaries.
On the other hand, now that RevisionDelete is well-integrated. This would be a
great usecase for the sysop version of revisiondelete (hiding an edit summary
that contains spam).
So parsing plain external links (ie. not [http://link linktext] but just plain
simple external links) in all edit summaries and external links is a good idea
imho. (Just like normal [[links]] are parsed as well)

I also think this feature would be great. It is requested frequently by the
German Wikipedia community.
In my opinion the usual link form with http:// should be supported as well as
the {{fullurl:, because it easier works with c&p. I dont think the length of
the link matters, as far as you dont type it manually :-)
Another question would be whether the feature should work with already existing
log entries. Is that possible?

Suggestion: While I wouldn't want external links in the edit summary, but I
think it would be great if links with {{fullurl:}} could work in the edit
summary. This would allow to easily link stuff within the own wiki and some of
the interwikis, but not make it possible to link spam in the edit summary.

Unless you're talking about sysadmins manually editing the database, that's not true. There's no way to do it from inside the software. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

I agree.
Maybe we could use the same sintax of the magic words 'fullurl' and 'filepath'
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words#URL_data
because codes like
{{fullurl:w:pt:Wikipedia:A enciclopédia livre|action=edit&oldid=15930217}}
are shorter than the "external link" form
http://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:A_enciclop%C3%A9dia_livre&action=edit&oldid=15930217

Well, it is so, but only for the powers that be. I think the rest of us prefer our edit histories without every other summary censored for our protection, though, which is why I'm opposed to allowing external links there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

I guarantee you you'd rather not see the consequences once the Hagger vandal started linking to http://test.on.nimp.org (hint: absolutely DO NOT visit that link unless you have an easy stomach and have javascript disabled or the ctrl-alt-del button ready). Just saying about blacklisted sites... might want to have a chat with community about this first.
