IPv6 problem

via IPv6 tunnel sixxs.org acess wikimedia. In edit mode, all external
links force add suffix ".sixxs.org", and save. IPv4 can't acess these
links.

this is upstream (sixxs) problem, not ours. their regexp parser breaks
here, and wikipedia cant do anything about it.

I believe the main issue is that some of the software that runs the
sites, for example squid, does not yet support ipv6. This would be
necessary before ipv6 support can be fully given.

As far as I know there is a ipv6 gateway to access Wikimedia; but
native ipv6 would be preferable.
