Sources in a history article

Post by squonk »

I'm writing a history article, and I want to link to a few primary documents for reference, but from what I understand hyperlinks aren't allowed in CC articles. Can I still include the url if I remove the hyperlink itself?

Thanks for letting me know. I was thinking of just adding a short "Sources" list to the end of the article this time and removing the http://, but I'll keep that in mind for future articles as well.
