Description

Goal

It would be beneficial to have the links linking to the specific wiki where they were generated so once copied out, they can link back to that wiki.
Original user request:

Can the links in the wikitext output be formatted with the name of the wiki as a preface? Example: [[w:en:User:SQL]]. – bradv🍁 19:58, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Acceptance criteria

Links in the wikitext output contain a prefix for the wiki they are on.

@Niharika @dbarratt The copy feature sanitizes the HTML before sending it to the parser, rather than re-parsing the wikitext output from the parser - so the cleanest way to do this is to make the user links external links.

The Wikitext export now uses external links.

For example:

[http://dev.wiki.local.wmftest.net:8080/wiki/User:Eve <bdi>Eve</bdi>]

And for a user without a user page:

[http://dev.wiki.local.wmftest.net:8080/w/index.php?title=User:New_Admin&action=edit&redlink=1 <bdi>New Admin</bdi>]

Test environment: Local vagrant MediaWiki 1.36.0-alpha (42fcd02), CheckUser 2.5 (6abbe8d).
