Summary: a destination-dependent icon should be shown for
interwiki links
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: User interface
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
When URLs are linked, when viewing the page a small WWW-specific icon appears
next to the link. For internal links no icon is shown, which is fine, but
links to other wikis also have no icon.
Following the principle of least surprise, there should be icons for other
destinations, very preferably ones that are specific to the destination the
link is pointing to.
This is problem in wiktionary in particular. There there are a large number of
links to the wikipedia, but there's no way to tell that this is happening, so
clicking on the link puts you somewhere very different without warning.
However, this is also a problem in other wikis.
