Link source code lines

Indeed, none of those apply. So, can I add that to the Issues and features page (as a P3)? If so, please advise as I am unsure where to place it: "Primarily for translatewiki.net" > Features"? Or perhaps "More information needed or uncertain issues"?

It looks like someone did that, at least for StatusNet. Thanks!

Niklas got crazy and just did it. I think mwlibrl also supports it (gettext only feature).

Yay someone noticed! I got feedback that there is too little contrast with link colors and the background. Imho they don't need to catch attention, just to be somewhat readable and able to be clicked. What do you think about this? Is it good enough or can it be improved?

Also, does it cause problems that the links take you to another page and you (may) lose the current translation?

In my browser (Firefox) the links have the same colour as the other text, and aren't underlined either unless you hover the mouse over them, so it would have taken a while for me to discover them. Otherwise this seems great.

I get around the problem of losing the translation by leaving the page by right-clicking on the link and opening the page in a new tab.

I think Ctrl+click does the same in most browsers.

I've been thinking about this issue, too. If it's not too big of a thing, I'd prefer this code to open in a new tab, as is done with the show history button.

I use middle-click to that effect, but having that as default would be good, I think.

As for the links, perhaps simply underlining them (all the time, not only on hover) would suffice.

As in making them different from all the other links? Doesn't the external link icon give them away?

The JS editor does not markup external links differently.

I wonder why not.
