External Links that behave like internal links

This is useful if you have a link with URL parameters. Note CSS class="plainlinks" in the <span>-wrapper:

This class comes with MediWiki core and hides the symbol for external links.

In addition this class is configured in LocalSeetings.php for Extension:LinkTarget and overwrites the standard behavior for external links (opens in the same browser tab instead of a new one).

Note: For external links you need to use an underscore (_) for pagenames with spaces (Main_Page instead of Main Page).

<span class="plainlinks">[{{SERVER}}/wiki/Main_Page?name={{CURRENTUSER}} Send me home with my name as URL parameter]</span>

Example: Send me home with my name as URL parameter

Note: At target page URL parameters can be used as follows:

{{#urlget:parameter-name|default-value}}
