Bug ID: 66746
Summary: Add a link parser function
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Parser
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org

Wikitext is very limiting for links.
When people want to create local urls with parameters they abuse wikitext by
doing the following:
[http://thislookslikeanexternallink.com/butitisactuallylocal?action=foo link]
This has the side effect of rendering external links which then have to be
hacked around. Sigh.
As suggested by Bartosz we should create a {{#link:}} parser function so that
in message keys we can do {{#link:/my/localurl/Foo?action=edit}}
Talking to Brion Vibber he says this is a good idea.
