> So "it used to work" in the original text but it "doesn't work" when pasted, as without the protocol it isn't getting linkified again.

The answer is "no, text that didn't start with http/https wasn't linkified, although www. was (but with http protocol, not https)".

The behavior here was kind of beta tested on better-osm-org users who don't seem to complain about it.

The easy fix is to not strip the http/https, but that makes link texts longer.

The more advanced fix is to do detect more links ourselves, but see https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/5780#issuecomment-2746253474, this will definitely lead to thing misdetected and more complaints.

There's also a possible fix purely for copypasting.
