Ah, ok my apologies. Maybe you could add a note

things that would break to

I've corrected some inaccuracies on that page. I'm not even going to
*try* to predict what would break if you removed things like 'http:'
from the array -- link parsing would break throughout the software.
I don't see anything obvious breaking. Of course, external links stop
working, both plain and in [], also magic external images, and the
captcha won't detect it as addition of urls.
But all of that seems expected behavior on removing http from
$wgUrlProtocols.
You mentioned Special:LinkSearch and wfParseUrl(), but LinkSearch has
nothing to search if you don't allow external links, and wfParseUrl() is
only used inside the parser (precisely to work with the previously
matched external urls).
