Bug ID: 49484
Summary: Remove mw:ExtLink/URL type and automatically switch
between serialization variants
Product: Parsoid
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General

We currently mark up auto-linked external links (source http://example.com/) as
mw:ExtLink/URL (see
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/MediaWiki_DOM_spec#External_links for the
spec). There is however no need to distinguish between plain external and
auto-linked external URLs on the client side if we automatically convert
between the two forms as needed. So we should replace all uses of
mw:ExtLink/URL with a plain mw:ExtLink and add some extra info to data-parsoid
and cleverness to our serializer.
Basically:
* If the target and the link text agree, we can serialize a modified or new
link as an URL link in wikitext.
* If a former URL link's content text is modified by the editor and does not
match the target any more, convert to a regular external link.
* If an unmodified external link *could* be rendered as an URL link, but is
marked up as a full external link in the original Wikitext, then preserve this
non-minimal serialization on round-trip.
Change detection requires custom shadowing similar to the logic we use for
WikiLinks.
