Hello folks,

I repeat myself here, because I have written the same thing in hci.

Please do not get rid of doktype "External URL". This will not improve 
usability, but break it, not only for BE-Users but for website users. If 
you build a list of links, it is good practice to make your users aware 
that they are leaving the current site by setting a specific css class 
and an appropriate title.
For BE-Users it is usefull to see at one glance which pages are external 
and which are internal in the pagetree. I am sure, quite a few projects 
would have to reinvent doktype "External URL".

I think, the term 'redirect' for doktype 'Shortcut' is nice, because it 
will be understood in the correct sense even if you do not know what a 
redirect is in the technical sense.

Prosit, Uschi
