Q:

SO link in answer doesn't auto-translate to title

When I'm writing an answer in Stack Overflow, and I want to refer to another SO question, I can usually just past the URL into the answer, and it will be displayed as the title. But sometimes this doesn't work correctly.
I was editing this answer today, and I pasted the URL http://stackoverflow.com/questions/75752/what-is-the-most-straightforward-way-to-pad-empty-dates-in-sql-results-on-eithe into the answer. In the preview this was shown as the question title, but when I saved the edit, it showed the raw URL rather than the title. It did correctly mark it up as a clickable link. But I had to go back in and paste the title by hand and use the URL as the link target with the link tool.
This seems related to Internal link wasn't translated to title but I don't think either of the answers there apply. This also happened a day or two ago.

A:

Since all the Stack Exchange sites support https://, within the site if you use the URL with https:// it will automatically parse the title.
I have modified your answer with https:// and it parsed the title correctly. Please check the revision history.
