A wikipedia based site uses links written in mirror, for example: <a href="javascript:jumpUrl('/moc.etis.www//:ptth');" class='external'> What do they have to hide?

Strange... Maybe it's a way of stopping people and bots from harvesting their links?

That would also be my first guess. Even with Googlebot looking at javascript as text to find possible urls, they still don't actually EXECUTE the js, so this "external" url is still invisible to Google.
