      Currently, if you edit an OnDemand Confluence page and add a new link and select the WEB LINK option and enter your link (such as www.test.com) Confluence will automatically add your instance URL in front of this link, thus rendering it broken resulting in a 'Page Not Found'.

      For example:
      -User specifies WEB LINK option in the Links dialog box, adds www.test.com/testmctesterson
      -After saving the page, Confluence adds the instance id in front of www.test.com/testmctesterson. This link now is https://testinstance.dev-jira.com/wiki/www.test.com/testmctesterson which is a broken link even though www.test.com/testmctesterson was the intended destination and is valid.

      Since the user specifies the WEB LINK button, shouldn't it automatically add the 'http://' to any link that the user inputs starting with www ?
