 Replying to [comment:4 itsalltech1]:
 > If you delete the http:// part in your web browser, does the URL still
 work? Last time I checked, yes, it does. And what if a writer copy+pastes
 that URL without an http:// into the editor? What happens in that case?

 Note that links without `http://` are relative, so even if `wp-admin` is
 not prepended in the Insert/edit link box, that same link on the front-end
 will look like this:
