I want it to be a URL in the generated text.  AFAIK code samples are not
clickable URLs.

| You should blame us, the Debian package maintainer, not upstream:
| Upstream provide a tarball that is meant to be decompressed (typically
| in /srv/foo).

I don't see how that is relevant?  If the allowed URL schemas is
supposed to be configurable, that bit of code should be in /etc or be
overridable from a file in /etc.

| Adding a protocol has important security implication:
| - disclosing credential
| - DoS attacks (locking accounts...)
| - cross site scripting attacks
| etc.
| The main problem is that wikis are usually public, so anyone can add
| arbitrary link.

Given you can't accidentially disclose credentials any more by having
something be a link than you can do so by putting it inline in a text on
a page, I don't really see that as a valid reason.  As for DoS attacks,
why would they happen just because something is a link?

| 
| MoinMoin/config/__init__.py is not a configuration file, but the
| "source" code, that needs to be modified before compilation.
| (I understand that you are reluctant to do so, for security reason).

| So what is/are the protocol(s) that you want/need? then we'll have to
| figure out (your help is welcome):

In my specific case, git.

| - Does Debian or Windows or MacOS handle it? (with a popular tool)

Yes, using git.

| - Are those URL scheme documented

No idea.

| - Are there security issues

I don't see what kind of issues that should be, no.
