Details[edit | edit source]
Set a default target for external links. Add the following entry to LocalSettings.php file in order to open links in a new window / tab.
$wgExternalLinkTarget = '_blank';
If the value is set to false, then no target attribute is used with external links (This behavior is the same as _self).
When changing the value, page views must be refreshed in order to make the setting effective.
