Currently, the link "Feedback from my watched pages »" opens https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ArticleFeedbackv5Watchlist?ref=watchlist in the same page even if I press CTRL while clicking in the link. This is not the expected behaviour (at least on Google Chrome), since all other links open in a new tab if I use CTRL+Click.
[ Analysis ] This link is added in JavaScript, by code located at modules/ext.articleFeedbackv5/ext.articleFeedbackv5.watchlist.js. It creates the link, and adds an on click event, handled by a ClickTracking code. [ Possible solution ] Add a kludge to the relevant ClickTracking function to handle itself the click event: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/extensions/ArticleFeedbackv5.git;a=blob;f=modules/jquery.articleFeedbackv5/jquery.articleFeedbackv5.track.js;h=f2437621bea89f56ffe9897de23a079be14c92e2;hb=HEAD#l141 if (e.ctrlKey) { //Call a new method to manage ourself the event and open the link in a new window } else { //Send the event to the browser, current IE/Firefox code at the bottom of the method } [ Relevant links ] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/extensions/ArticleFeedbackv5.git;a=blob;f=modules/ext.articleFeedbackv5/ext.articleFeedbackv5.watchlist.js;h=75096d512679f8e2169ce2063040e17c1201c9f4;hb=HEAD ->
