User:Simeon.A.Scott/How to link to sources and external pages and stuff

The official Help page on this topic is not very useful. It is generic because of an inadequate merge procedure for the upstream source at wikimedia which documents the wiki software that is used for the site. This makes it hard to include instructions particular to our customised setup, which I will document below, for my own use, and for others if there is actually no other documentation for this.
