           Summary: Plans for handling of auto-numbered external links?
           Product: Parsoid
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General

The Parsoid team is considering a simplification of the different mw:ExtLink/*
variants to just a single mw:ExtLink type. 

For most types this should not make much of a difference to VE, but for
auto-numbered external links ([http://example.com]) it might, so I am looking
for your input. I did some testing on
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:GWicke/TestNumberedLinks. Changes to the
text lead to corruption as in this diff:

https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AGWicke%2FTestNumberedLinks&diff=772988&oldid=772987

There also does not seem to be any automatic re-numbering when a numbered link
is changed into a plain external link.

What are you plans for the handling of numbered links?
