Fair enough.

It does seem weird to me that if the choices are:

### OPTION A - current behavior if no description available

### OPTION B - (suggested change) draw onebox even though no description available

Really, people prefer option A over bption B? (And more to the point-- really, folks complained that option B was ugly? It seems perfectly workable to me, aesthetically…)

And here’s how Discourse currently renders the exact same link:
