+/**
+ * Transform a pre-Drupal 8 formatted link for use in Drupal 8.
+ *
+ * Previous to Drupal 8, URLs didn't need to have a URI scheme assigned. The
+ * contrib link module would auto-prefix the URL with a URI scheme. A link in
+ * Drupal 8 has more validation and external links must include the URI scheme.
+ * All external URIs need to be converted to use a URI scheme.
+ *
+ * Available configuration keys
+ * - uri_scheme: (optional) The URI scheme prefix to use for URLs without a
+ * scheme. Defaults to 'http://', which was the default in Drupal 6 and
+ * Drupal 7.
+ *
+ * Examples:
+ *
+ * Consider a link field migration, where you want to use https:// as the
+ * prefix:
+ *
+ * @code
+ * process:
+ * field_link:
+ * plugin: field_link
+ * uri_scheme: 'https://'
+ * source: field_link
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @MigrateProcessPlugin(
+ * id = "field_link"
+ * )
