    This is actually an issue with a library: SoapBox/linkifyjs but they don't seem to have an open issue about this, closest would be nfrasser/linkifyjs#26

    Still an issue... tried linking to an IPv6 page and it didn't work.

    It's 2022 and IPv6 is being used more and more each day, hope to see this added soon

    Also as an update, it seems the library recently added ipv6 support: nfrasser/linkifyjs#26 (comment) @t3chguy so it shouldn't be hard to implement.

    Still a problem BTW, and also broken when trying to use link tags too, see #28276.
