Okay, thanks.

I changed the template to use <span class="plainlinks">, as the
"external link" indicator can get to be quite obtrusive if it occurs
frequently in the middle of sentences.

Is it possible to skip the "captcha" for links to grass.osgeo.org (or
osgeo.org generally)? I think it's safe to assume that those aren't
likely to be WikiSpam.

Also: should we hyperlink module names when they appear in code blocks?
