There could be a global variable of hostnames to ignore (defaulting to
$wgServer).

I believe externallinks is used for ConfirmEdit, Special:LinkSearch, and
prop=extlinks in the API (among other things?). WMF projects are already
whitelisted for ConfirmEdit, but it seems like people do use Special:LinkSearch
to check for "local" external links. If people are attached to that
functionality, maybe we could remove links from the table only if they also
include &action=?
