           Summary: news: links broken (noncompliance with RFC 1738)
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: General/Unknown
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


Links of the form [news:foo.bar.baz] are not translated correctly from wiki
markup to HTML.  The resulting URL should be simply news:foo.bar.baz, but
MediaWiki instead converts it to news://foo.bar.baz/.  This means that links to
Usenet newsgroups and messages on Wikipedia, etc., are broken.

See RFC 1738 for the news: URI scheme specification.
