Wikis, including Wikipedia and the previous version of the Tcler's Wiki, typically indicate visually which links are external (lead outside the wiki).  This helps the user navigate the wiki faster with fewer mouseovers and false starts.  The HTML markup already distinguishes between internal and external links: internal links have either the class <tt>mkup_known</tt> or the class <tt>mkup_unknown</tt> while external links have neither.  Adding a symbol like the one <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links#External_links">used in MediaWiki</a> to external links would be helpful.

Good suggestion, I'll add it to the "to do" list.

Added a globe to external links.
