I was unable to use an external url (i.e. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing) for MediaWiki:edithelppage as it was always generating an internal url on pageview. Here is a patch that fixes this.

Not sure what this means...? What's a case in which this fails, and what are the expected and actual results?
If I edit MediaWiki:edithelppage to be "http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing" instead of the default "Help:Editing", and I go to edit a page, the url for the "Editing Help" link is an internal one - "http://mymachine/wiki/index.php/Http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing". This patch lets either case work.
Fixed in EditPage.php, rev 1.178
