I don't understand.
savepage should check links?
Well oh well, SpellChecker is similar, but in a higher queue. I don't 
think that this will make it.

Maybe the new "Search & Replace" javascript button will help them.

Please google for it.

We could add this to the edit_toolbar sooner or later, but I have many

This will need some time.

(wikilens, edit_toolbar), then the tests can begin.

I moved to a new office and don't have LDAP anymore ...
