Add a link at the English Wikipedia to the Spanish Wikipedia.

Steps to Reproduce:

Type a label/anchor.

Open the link inspector.

Paste in https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idioma_inglés

Exit the link inspector and save changes.

Actual Results:
It created an external link: [https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idioma_inglés Label].

Expected Results:
It should have behaved the same as pasting the same link, but with HTTP:// at the start. It should have created an interwiki link: [[:es:Idioma_inglés|Label]].

Reproducible: Always

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

It would also be nice if this process:

Paste a URL

Press Command-K

turned https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idioma_inglés into [[:es:Idioma inglés]] or [[:es:Idioma inglés|Idioma inglés]].

The conversion is done in Parsoid, not VE; moving there.
