MediaWiki's info action should have a customizable "external links" section (blank by default, I guess) where users can add links to outside services, preferably with the ability to pass the page title in those links.

For example, with ?title=Barack_Obama&action=info, you might have an external links section that includes:

• http://example.com/page_view_stats/enwiki/Barack_Obama
• http://example.com/wikiblame/enwiki/Barack_Obama

This can be implemented with $1 variables that can be substituted in a MediaWiki message or perhaps with magic words such as {{PAGENAME}} or {{FULLPAGENAMEE}} or whatever. I'm not sure if magic words currently work with ?action=info.

Adding an external links section would allow us to move certain links to external services (such as "number of watchers") from ?action=history to ?action=info, where the links are much more logically suited.
