BugPastign "boilerplate" links - links removed. Pin

I use boilerplate a lot, and have a "standard message" telling people that what they have submitted as an article isn't up to snuff. It includes two pre-prepared links to an article and a tip here:
Please, look at some of the existing articles here to get an idea of the standard we expect.
Here's one of mine: <a href="https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/728836/Using-struct-and-class-whats-that-all-about">Using struct and class - what's that all about?</a>[<a href="https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/728836/Using-struct-and-class-whats-that-all-about" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>] 
And here's a tip which is a lot more "code focussed": <a href="https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/1042055/Creating-a-Simple-scratch-card-Control-in-WinForms">Creating a Simple "scratch card" Control in WinForms</a>[<a href="https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/1042055/Creating-a-Simple-scratch-card-Control-in-WinForms" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>] 

We moderators aren't here to make your life difficult, or to be nasty - quite the reverse, we protect the site from not-ready articles, and authors from the derision and downvotes that poorer articles can receive. And to be a moderator, you have to write articles, so we know what it feels like when you slave away on something and Joe Moron from Stupidity High School, Kansas finds out it's not what he needs to hand in as his homework ... :laugh: 
If we let this though as it stands, it would - at best - be ignored, and more likely downvoted into oblivion.

I'm sure you have put a lot of effort into getting the code right, but articles aren't just about the code: the words are what matters!
But when I paste it into a article message: Remember[^]
It gets the href stuff removed:

The only way I could get the links in was to manual y remove the "rubbish" and just paste the URL instead.

This has worked for years and suddenly stopped in the last few days.
