Thanks to User:Omegatron, who developed the initial code.

How it works
This tool parses external links and template code in history pages (Recent Changes, Watchlist, Related changes and Contributions too), making them into colorful links: for example, if you write code like


 * or more simply
 * or more simply

in an edit summary, it will show in these pages in this way


 * Wikipedia
 * http://en.wikipedia.org
 * Val

In other pages, in particular in code sections and diff, it will parse external links, wikilinks and template code making them into links (not colorful).

This tool doesn't work on preview mode.

Add this tool
To use autolink, add these lines to Special:MyPage/common.js:

 // User:Lenore/autolink importScript('User:Lenore/autolink.js');

to your monobook.js. If you use wikEd, add a new line like this

 // User:Lenore/autolink var autolinkParseLink = false; importScript('User:Lenore/autolink.js');

in this way, links in diffs will be parsed by wikEd and not by this tool.
