It doesn't seem to be an RFC for MediaWiki. =)

I can't even remember when picked this up, thus it's obviously not practically feasible to do this via going through history. On the upside, fixing hacky links as they are encountered will also fix the ones that aren't mine.

Well, it's up to you. If you think this will accelerate the process, of course.

As a side note, even fixing all of them isn't going to make search suck significantly less, since this removes only 2 out of 6 versions for the same link (http|https|none × www|none)... not counting possible variants with URL encoding (which may or may not work correctly without it, too).
