Description
@shainaraskas jun 30: for security reasons, we plan to replace any placeholder/fake URLs with non-hostable placeholder segments.
Remove segments that make a valid URL, including prefixes (`http://`) and TLDs (`.com`).
before:
```
```
after:
```
```
The placeholder `<>` can be adapted to use descriptive text for its purpose. For example, a placeholder for a splunk server might look like this:
```
server: /
```
