Module:RedactURL
Unnecessary, poorly thought out module.

What this module does is deliberately break external links. How it works: you feed it some text, it scans through it for external links, then jams a &#60;wbr> (wordbreak) html element into the middle of the link to stop the parser from linking it correctly. I don't think that this is useful behaviour for a few reasons:
 * If a link is bad enough to need "redacting" it should be removed entirely, not obscured via templates or modules. We shouldn't leave inappropriate external links around in a semi-functional state relying on templates and modules to make them unclickable.
 * The functionality to stop links being formed is already built into mediawiki, and does not require you stuffing random HTML tags into the middle of things. To stop a link being formed you just need to wrap it in nowiki tags. There is no need to have a template if all it does is replicate basic parser functionality.
 * The only uses of this are, in my opinion, inappropriate. This has been added to the various strikethrough templates, where the functionality of breaking external links is unexpected, undocumented, and not always useful. — 192.76.8.85 18:21, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
