Bug ID: 71166
Summary: MediaWiki external link syntax parsing of URI schemes
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: trivial
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Page editing

MediaWiki external link syntax parsing does not appear to support the
view-source [URI schemes][1] potentially others as well. [Live example][2].
Here, I attempted to add an external link directly to view the source of a
webpage to validate the licensing of a public domain image but the link renders
only the rendered HTML page link.
In HTML an anchor tag can be assigned a view-source link like so..[ref][3]
<A HREF="view-source://...>
and MediaWiki documents external linking syntax to be like so..
[href value|visible text]
I attempted to add the external wikilink
// should be the accurate value
[view-source:sacred-texts.com/nam/nw/tmt/index.htm][4]
// doesn't seem accurate because view-source and http are both defining the
URI scheme but this is how it works if you copy/paste it into the address bar
[view-source:http://sacred-texts.com/nam/nw/tmt/index.htm][5]
// tried a few other variations as well
