The way it works is that the wiki has a whitelist of URLs; if your URL
isn't on the whitelist, it'll show up as spam://... no matter how hard
you try. Only the wiki admins can alter the whitelist.

Best method might be to send a notes to this mailing list with a subject like:

  [WIKI ADMIN] Please whitelist http://...

... and see if it catches the eye of an admin. =]

Meanwhile, I added the URLs from the Extensions and Contributions
pages to the whitelist.

Cheers!
