Comment (by vladytimy):

 Just tested
 [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5093/5093.patch
 5093.patch] and it works like a charm. Love it!
 There are a few minor (non-functional) things I propose we change in
 [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5093/5093.2.patch
 5093.2.patch]


 1. Use {{{reply}}} instead of {{{post}}} (except when it actually reffers
 to the post)

 2. A comprehensive function description - for our future selves :laughing:
 Before: {{{Filter away the site URL from a post, UNLESS it is the topic
 starter them selves.}}}
 After: {{{Filter away SITE_URL_META from a reply, UNLESS current user is
 the topic starter themselves, a moderator or the author of the reply.}}}

 3. Fix minor typos ( {{{ot}}} -> {{{to}}}, {{{examplify}}} ->
 {{{exemplify}}}, {{{them selves}}} -> {{{themselves}}}, {{{starters
 page}}} -> {{{starter\'s page}}})

 4. Use the same comments wording used before for similar functions
 Before: {{{Let the reply author ... see ...}}}
 After: {{{Do not filter ... for ...}}}

 5. Use the same wording already used for site_url_description when
 [https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/#new-
 topic-0 creating a new topic]

 Before: {{{These links are only viewable to... }}}
 After: {{{ These links will only be shown to... }}}

 6. Remove maybe redundant commas in {{{contains one, or more, links}}} ->
 {{{contains one or more links}}} (this needs a native speaker
 confirmation, as it is based on online research only)
 ----
 That said, the proposed full outputs are:

 >This reply contains one or more links to the page you need help with.
 These links will only be shown to you and the author of this reply.

 AND

 >This reply contains one or more links to the thread starter's page. These
 links will only be shown to you and the person who created this thread.
