Steps to reproduce:
- Edit a page with VisualEditor.
- Click Insert → Basic Reference.
- Paste a text containing a URL, e.g. "From Phabricator project: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/483/.".
Actual result:
The URL is not a link.
Expected result:
The URL is converted into a link.
Additional information:
This was noted when copying from Google Docs. Even if the URL was a link in Docs, this doesn't carry over when pasting it in the reference popup.
