[edit] What can this extension do?

This extension adds a special page Special:Linksearch which allows to search for pages that contain external link. The external link can be specified by general searchpatterns like "*.wikipedia.org".

[edit] Installation

Make a new folder in your extension directory: LinkSearch, save the files from subversion. Add the following lines to your LocalSettings.php:

#Extension LinkSearch 
require_once("$IP/extensions/LinkSearch/LinkSearch.php");

[edit] Known Bugs

Same word in the wordlist and an image causes big problems - have a look into the discussion! In some installations the page Special:Linksearch will not appear.
This has been resolved (bug 6800).
