##About
This userscript automatically converts raw Stack Exchange question URLs into the form [title](link) before submitting comments by grabbing their titles from the API. This is similar to conversion done natively on posts, and is in response to this Meta request. The script also tries to shorten links where appropriate, stripping out unnecessary URL content to conserve comment characters.
More information can be found in the SECommentLinkHelper section of the README.
