This bug report was seperated from bug 5236 (see there) after discussion about the missing tiny link icons (external.png for http, lock_icon.gif for https and so on) in Opera 8.5x (and maybe other versions). The icons are missed for a couple of days now (probably since the change of order of wikibits.js and monobook.js on 2006-03-16, but that's unverified). Especially for external links these icons are badly needed for consistency and maintenance of Wikimedia's sites. Think about the policiy "no external links in the article body" ;-) People also want to know in general when they leave the site. Presumably a new OperaFixes.css or another quick hack could help. Thanks a lot in advance.
In http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/wikibits.js there is: var is_opera_seven = (window.opera && document.childNodes); This variable is also for Opera 8.x, I think (->childNodes -> looks if the version number is shown -> that's the case in Opera 7/8 and 9?) Bug 5355 should solve the problem that is described here in this bug!
