We already have {{SERVER}}. This variable can have different values depending on how the wiki is accessed. Examples: http://localhost , http://internal.network or http://www.domain.tld In e-mails sent by the wiki (especially enotifs) and in the text templates for them, it would be useful to have a fixed variable, which the Sysop can set to {{SERVER}} (installation default) or to a different value, which then reflects the external server address such as http://www.domain.tld and is substituted. I hereby propose to implement an additional variable with the name {{SERVER_EXTERN}} which can be used by the wiki software internally (example: UserMailer.php), MediaWiki: pages and any wiki page

Created attachment 828 [details] patch against REL1_5 The small patch implements a new variable {{SERVER_EXTERN}}. Its value follows the value of MediaWiki:server_extern (default = {{SERVER}}) Usage: to allow a fixed wiki server address in e-mail notifications, regardless, how the wiki was actually accessed (localhost, intranet, internet) by the page editor.
