@Martin Interesting is that it does remove the https:// part so at least some preprocessing have taken place. This is chaos.

(Personally, when I come across comments containing bare URLs pointing to other related questions, I often edit them to include the title of the post and format that as a link.) | |
| Aug 5, 2022 at 14:27 | comment | added | Martin | @LilyWhite This feature request is marked (status-declined): Replace links with the current question title in comments. It is rather old - but looking at the questions linked there, it seems that it came up in other posts, too. | |

This comment is used to test whether expansion takes place in comments: https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/77394 => meta.stackexchange.com/q/77394; [https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/77394](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/77394)=> https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/77394. It seems that comments are not expanded.

| Jul 27, 2022 at 7:02 | comment | added | Martin | @ShadowTheKidWizard Thanks, that seems like a relatively likely explanation. (I wanted to use this question as an example - so that I do not have to link some "random" post just for the sake of illustration. Since after posting I saw that it did not work, I changed it to another post. (I did not realize that it will eventually change - but even than, for some time the question would look weird.) | |
| Jul 27, 2022 at 6:40 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | The "expansion mechanism" is looking at some internal cache, most likely, so it takes few minutes until that cache is synched with new questions, that's why your question wasn't expanded at first. | |
