    Description

      Despite the fact that the placeholder displays an example of how a link to an external page should look, any user can mistakenly enter any character at the beginning in the value itself or at the end of it.

      As a result, after saving such a link, the user will not be able to open the external page since the URL is not valid.

      Therefore, either pre-saving or in real-time, XWiki should check whether the external link is valid (it URL syntax).

      I am attaching the image that the user has when trying to open the link.
