            Bug ID: 69886
           Summary: VisualEditor: Populate LinkCache from
                    MWLinkTargetInputWidget etc
           Product: VisualEditor
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: MediaWiki integration
          Assignee: [email protected]

In MWLinkTargetInputWidget and other places, we perform API requests that give
us exactly the kind of information (existence, redirect status, etc.) that goes
into ve.init.mw.LinkCache, but we don't write it to the link cache. We should
do that, so we can save ourselves some API requests.

Right now, when you make a link, we do another API request to check if the link
should be blue or red, even if the link target came from a suggestion list and
we already know it should be blue.
