Currently it's a bit of a minefield when clicking links. Some will open in the current page, others a new window (or tab if you have it set up as such). The biggest problem is if you expect a link to open in a new window/tab, so just click on it, and it doesn't. The status bar could append/prepend a small icon or "(New Window/Tab)" to the link url on hover to let users know exactly what will happen if they click on a link. --[[User:AJanuary|AJanuary]] 03:05, 12 September 2007 (PDT)
