Hi all, With this weeks deployment of MediaWiki to Wikimedia sites, you'll notice that magic links[1] now add tracking categories to identify their usage.
As discussed in an RfC, magic links have some problems[2], and we would like to phase them out with interwiki links and templates instead. Things like VisualEditor will still specially handle ISBN/RFC/PMID, but generate the wikitext link format. I would like to recruit the help of bot authors and operators in updating their wikis to not use magic links. Is there anyone in your community who would be interested?
