You can also just use any formatting anywhere in the description to make all URLs clickable, so just bold or underline any word, for example.
I think it's to do with the way Google Calendar uses (or doesn't use) HTML in event descriptions - by forcing HTML anywhere it seems to apply to everything. If you don't use any formatting then the Google Calendar UI makes the URL clickable without actually using the HTML that's required outside of Google Calendar.

For the import I'd try going back to your original iCal file and use search/replace to remove all lines starting with "UID". You'll need a good text editor to do this such as Sublime Text, and if you get stuck you can send me the file (add dot com to me username) and I'll do that for you.
You can then split it again and you'll have iCal files that will create brand new events (my guess is that the system has apparently not yet flushed your UIDs that identify each event).

For the import, it can take a short while for imported events to show up... are they still missing?
Was the original file made by Google Calendar, or a different platform?
That tool doesn't change the data at all, so it can be used to pinpoint errors when importing. If you split the files in 2 (e.g using 500 events per file) or more smaller files you should be able to narrow things down to a small number of events that contains something that Google won't import.
Using that and an online iCal validation tool should let you find the problem.

This will split the iCal file into smaller files that Google calendar will import.

That said, there are several big red warnings before you can actually delete a calendar that you own, so it's hard to do so accidentally, unless you didn't read any of those scary warnings. It's also possible that your friend wasn't actually the owner... In which case you can add them back by obtaining the calendar ID (either from the owner or in an email from when the caller was shared) and using Add Calendar > Subscribe.
Reply to Opening "Add this calendar." link just opens Google Calendar on Safari without accepting invitation?
Google Calendar•2/23/2025
The easy solution is for them to accept in Gmail on desktop since the link will be opened in the same browser with the user already logged in to their Google account.

To do this you'd need to use a script/plugin on your website that connects to Google Calendar and displays only the information you want to share without an "Add to Calendar" option.

Open the CSV in a spreadsheet app and modify the columns and data so that you can import it to a regular Google calendar (https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37118)
Use a commercial product such as Sync2Cloud or GQueues to migrate Outlook Tasks to Google Tasks.
Reply to Not receiving Google calendar invite

If it's set to "only when I respond" then maybe your GMail filters or forwarding settings are sending the invitation/update emails to spam or deleting them?
Reply to guest red X (google calendar)
Google Calendar•2/21/2025
If this is happening automatically then it's possible that the guest in question has a problem with their setup - possibly involving their own Calendar/Gmail settings or syncing with Apple Calendar/Mail - that is rejecting invitations.
Does this guest have the same problem with Google Calendar invitations from other users?
Reply to Not receiving Google calendar invite
Google Calendar•2/21/2025
Are you just not receiving emails about invitations and updates or are these invites/updates not even being reflected on your calendar at https://calendar.google.com ?

Is your employer using Google Calendar or a different platform, and if it's the former are they using a regular gmail.com address or a custom domain? Also, do you still receive regular emails from them?

Reply to I want to share a staff calendar and ensure that the color labels I assign to events are visible
Google Calendar•2/20/2025
Please "Send Feedback" to let Google know you'd like the ability to share custom event colours within a given calendar without granting ownership.

If you want to import multiple events you need to do that in the web interface > Settings > Import/Export.

If you can go through the steps below and let me know where you get stuck, and include a screenshot if possible, I should be able to help.

2) In your own copy: EDIT the Configuration section as needed AND CLICK "SAVE PROJECT" at the top
3) Select "UpdateBirthdays" in the drop-down list and click "Run" to copy all your contacts Birthdays (and optionally Special Events) into the chosen calendar
4) Optional: set up a daily/weekly "Trigger" as explained in the video.
Reply to 29th Feb problem

You'd have to create yearly repeats for both Feb 29 and Mar 1st then manually delete the March dates for leap years.
