The $Foswiki::cfg{LinkProtocolPattern} controls which uri schemes are recognized by Foswiki creating an anchor link for them. I'd suggest the following changes:

  • file: keep
  • ftp: keep
  • gopher: delete
  • https: keep
  • http: keep
  • irc: keep
  • mailto: keep
  • news: delete
  • nntp: delete
  • telnet: delete
  • tel: new

Note these are not all known uri schemes. These should be those that are auto-linked by Foswiki, recognized by browsers in a useful way and are commonly in use. I.e. tel:... is important on mobile phones as it lets you dial a phone number right from the bat.

Any thoughts?
