I’m going to guess here, but it looks like the URL you linked is missing the tags discourse needs to expand it, as it says:

> Sorry, we were unable to generate a preview for this web page, because the following oEmbed / OpenGraph tags could not be found: description, image

Which is why it _looks_ like it’s oneboxing, but it’s actually not because the tags are missing.
