Sadly, we cannot twibble bit to allow certain types of links but not others.

However, we can adjust the forum settings to allow users to include links  
in their posts from the start of using the forum. I've done so. Let us know  
if you have any further issues.

And, to reiterate what Tyler said earlier, it would be super awesome to put  
this feedback in the Meta Elastic category.[0]

Why you may ask?

1. Employees from Discourse are keeping an eye on our forum to help us help  
you have a good experience. They're not reading this list, though.

2. Trying for the single source of truth mentioned in my original post.

Thank you to everyone for the great feedback so far!

Cheers,
