Here on meta the about page has (note how the email address is plain text): Contact Us In the event of a critical issue or urgent matter affecting this site, please contact us at team@discourse.org. I’d like to have a similar message where the contact_url is an email address but when I try this on my instance I get: Contact Us In the event of a critical issue or urgent matter affecting this site, please contact us at team@discourse.org. i.e. the email address becomes a bogus link to domain.tld/test@example.com. If I put mailto:test@example.com I get a proper email link but the link text is literally mailto:test@example.com instead of just test@example.com. How can I get my about page to be like meta where the email is plain text or even better would be how to get a proper email link without the mailto: part being part of the link text.

But my discourse told me (in bold letters): Until you set these required fields, your Discourse is broken! So I thought I better put something there :smile:

In this case, you get to choose :smile: The tip-off is supposed to be that both of them have “Used on the /about contact form for urgent matters”. Also, with digest/mobile logo url have an “If left blank” clause. And why is “exclude rel nofollow domains” in the Required section o.o
