Could switch to differential links...

 *  Summary: This is done

generates a link to git.wikimedia.org which runs gitblit. This replaced gitweb, but neither is much loved. Instead many developers link to the mirror on the proprietary GitHub service, e.g.
 * https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-examples/blob/master/BoilerPlate/README

Meanwhile, we have Phabricator's differential module,
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/EXAM/browse/master/BoilerPlate/README

The difficulty in using the latter is the "callsign", in this example it's. Deriving Wikimedia callsigns from   is non-trivial ParserFunctions programming, or a Lua module.

Anyway, git.wikimedia.org is working again so no great rush to do this.

 * Negative24 came up with Phab file, almost a drop-in replacement! Example at User:Negative24/sandbox
