Does any kind of policy exist in regards to handling potentially "dangerous" links? In this particular case I'm looking at https://superuser.com/questions/1363812/how-to-crash-microsoft-windows-internet-explorer-11 and removed the http from links that are designed for sites that can crash your browser. I'm kind of wondering wheneverwhether I should've left them alone or not?

I guess one could argue that most people should be knowledgeable enough to not click those links if they don't need/want to. On the other hand it's easy enough to use them in this form.
