I have also noticed that the external link tool bar option is missing when editing a wiki page. I did some checking of the code in lib/toolbars/toolbarslib.php and found that, among lots of other lines, lines 589 and 590 were added with:

case 'link':
          return new self( 'Link' );

When I comment out these 2 lines, the external link option reappears on the tool bar, and works again. It also reappears on the Admin Toolbars page.

I do not know what removing those lines breaks, but maybe whoever added them didn't notice that it removed the external link option from the wiki edit page tool bar. Does anyone know what those lines were added for, and if they were meant to remove the external link option from the tool bar?

I just checked in demo Tiki 11, and the external link shows in the tool bar there, so it was a change made to Tiki 12 that removed it.
