Description

When using the rst parser, there is no distinction between internal links, external links, and internal links to nonexistent pages.

Example

This rst markup:

• Here is an internal link to RecentChanges_. Here is an internal link to a 
  NonexistentPage_. Here is an external link to debian_. All these links look 
  the same, whereas with normal markup externals have an earth icon on the 
  left and nonexistents are red.
  
  .. _debian: http://www.debian.org/

Rendered as:

• Here is an internal link to RecentChanges. Here is an internal link to a NonexistentPage. Here is an external link to debian. All these links look the same, whereas with normal markup externals have an earth icon on the left and nonexistents are red.

Workaround

Use Lynx.

Discussion

As reStructured text does not differentiate links currently, MoinMoin does not either. We do not see this as a bug, but rather as a feature request. Maybe we will rewrite the reStructured text parser to differentiate links and use dynamic links like the other parsers do.
