Half? I've done a lot of wiki editing, probably more than most. In all that 
time I've added just over a handful of external links. This change only 
effects pages with _new_ external links. So I do not see how this is any 
where near "half". Do you honestly add an a new external link every other 
time you edit/add a wiki page?
