Link with a parameter is not recognized

Question

A link with parameters:

:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35382295/how-can-i-group-by-date-from-star-time-to-end-time-range-in-ruby-on-rails?noredirect=1#comment58470095_35382295

Is recognized when written as part of the text: :How can I group by date from star time to end time range in Ruby On Rails, but is not recognized when used in the [label](url) form: like this.

By the way, this was from a different person's post, not mine. — sawa, Commented Feb 14, 2016 at 9:44

Just remove the initial colon in round brackets like this and the link displays and works correctly.

A URL starts with a scheme, not a colon. If you look carefully at the inline link the colon is not underlined, the inline link parser just skips it and starts linkifying after that.
