Peeling this off from the WH40K nerdery --

As far as I can tell, it is impossible to mark up a link to an https:// URL on this forum, because the [link:URL|Text] mechanism takes the URL without the scheme and slaps http:// in front of it, no matter what. You can paste an entire https link verbatim, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random , but you can't have link text unless the site does HTTP-to-HTTPS redirection for you.

This is becoming increasingly awkward what with the whole web moving to encrypted, but given how old the board software is, I imagine it's not likely to change soon, so, I guess just take this as a PSA?
