Nope, I am a bit confused on this too.
I am sure there have always been several default weblinks included. (maybe six, or eight, I'm not sure.)
But as I said, on a clean portable install I now only see one. (Wikipedia)
I'm not sure why that is.
edit:
Mayby I am making things more confusing, and most of the confusion is in my own head.
I was thinking that in this panel there used to be more than one link by default.
Maybe I am simply mistaken.
I'd better stop responding to this thread since I get the feeling that I am not helping but are making things more confusing.
Sorry for that. ;-)
