User javascript to fix external links in Wiki

[Teika Kazura]

Hi. In our Wiki, external links annoy, by stopping one extra time at a
page, saying "You're leaving Wikia". The attached javascript fixes
it. It's a greasemonkey script for firefox.

Save it as "outbound.user.js" (The leading part doesn't matter.)
First I sent it with that name, but our mailer daemon refused it.

Greasemonkey is a firefox addon that lets you add your own
javascripts, working as a "miniature add-on".

Well, if you know Javascript well, it must be easy, but I don't.

Regards,
