Needed regex to filter out outside links

This regex will replace all the wikilinks on the current page with subst:LAuto template which after page save will become L* templates (see above, what the substitution does is also visible using the 'Show Preview' button).

This method is usable right in the Help:Editing Toolbar under Advanced -> on the right side 'Search and replace' (magnifying glass icon) -> 'Treat search string as a regular expression' checkmark
