Deliberated? It don't think this is good practice. Apart from breaking existing
links, it will make linking more user-unfriendly. Who would use
[{{fullurl:xyz|abc}} http(s)://xyz?abc]? As a only-fullurl-link doesn't work
any more, users will copypaste a protocoll-absolute, correctly (better: as
intended) parsed link. Is that userfriendly?

Yes, but not both link formats. I said that enabling the bracketless format for
just a configurable set of sites (the proposed knowing-for-sure domains)
wouldn't be better, why don't we allow just everything?
