             Bug #: 38537
           Summary: Add "external links" section to MediaWiki's info
                    action
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General/Unknown
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


MediaWiki's info action should have a customizable "external links" section
(blank by default, I guess) where users can add links to outside services,
preferably with the ability to pass the page title in those links.

For example, with ?title=Barack_Obama&action=info, you might have an external
links section that includes:

* http://example.com/page_view_stats/enwiki/Barack_Obama
* http://example.com/wikiblame/enwiki/Barack_Obama

This can be implemented with $1 variables that can be substituted in a
MediaWiki message or perhaps with magic words such as {{PAGENAME}} or
{{FULLPAGENAMEE}} or whatever. I'm not sure if magic words currently work with
?action=info.

Adding an external links section would allow us to move certain links to
external services (such as "number of watchers") from ?action=history to
?action=info, where the links are much more logically suited.
