MediaWiki occasionally sends "ftp" for "www" content links in eMails

Dunno why, but sometimes notifications of page edits from MediaWiki preface URLs with https://ftp. instead of https://

The notification 30 minutes earlier, for the 1st edit by the same person on the same page was correct.

However, per the “There will be no other notifications in case of further activity unless
you visit this page while logged in.”, I did visit the page while logged in between notifications.

So maybe it is in the followup exception handling portion of the notification system?

Reported on 2021-06-28 by you 0012344: [MediaWiki] ‘changed page’ notifications sometimes mangle links to include ‘ftp’ to make invalid URL

@sam888 Have you seen this, should we be concerned?

Not so far and as far as I can tell no need to be concerned. I’ve turned on my notifications from the wiki and I’ll keep monitoring. @emyoulation Further updates will be posted on the bug report,
