This sounds to me like it might be hideously complicated, but putting it in here - e.g. a link to [http://foo.com] gets an external link notification icon on its right on the English Wikipedia, and this should show up as appropriate.
Applying the same CSS may be difficult, but internal vs external links should be rendered differently somehow.

Verified the fix in Betalabs and test2
Verified the fix in production
I'm not seeing this as entirely fixed. The redlink issue has been fixed but there are still other colour issues: * Visited redlinks are not shown in the visited redlink colour, they are shown in the redlink colour. * External links are not shown in the external links colour, they are shown in the internal links colour. * Link icons are omitted: external, secure, pdf etc. The raison d'etre of VE is that it is WYSIWYG while editing. Not having links in the right colour defeats this and can lead to mistakes.

Turns out they work in Vector but not in Monobook. This appears to be a bug in Monobook, it's scoping link icon CSS to the wrong div (#bodyContent instead of #content).

Marking this back as FIXED (as it has been fixed in Vector for a while).
