Commit summary for MediaWiki.r111861:

Bug 27619: Remove the option to show broken links as: link?

Being bold here, but otherwise it will still be there in 2016

GWicke's comment:

There are likely bigger issues for text browsers than missing link target 
existence indication. Removal of preference-dependent HTML from the content is 
important for better caching, and should really override this minor 
inconvenience for the very few. At least following the link will be very fast 
with a text browser, so you quickly see if the article exists or not ;)
