           Summary: External links to open in new window by default
           Product: webplatform.org
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2

        AssignedTo: schepers@w3.org

Set server-side value for external links to open in a new browser window. 

1. In edit source, add an external link & save edit.
2. On wiki page, click on link.
3. Link opens in the same window as the wiki page.

Expected: When pointing to new domain, link opens in new browser window, so I
don't lose my place at webplatform.org

Actual: Clicking link opens external URL in same window.

See: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgExternalLinkTarget

Workaround: I can't find one on the client side editor.
