The <ref> tag does not work

There is currently no way to refer to sources or make footnotes, other than linking to external URLs. The issue is, there is not always a URL to link to if it's OC or (in rare cases) offline content.
As a workaround, one might use a service like http://because.a.tweet.doesnt.fit.lucb1e.com, which stores data in the URL and simply echos that upon loading the page (this particular one was meant to squeeze more bytes in a tweet than allowed). This keeps data in the wiki itself but uses an external viewer. Still, it's an extremely ugly workaround and it should just be fixed.
Edit: Alright, "you may not post a link in your first post". Gotta love it when spam protection gets in the way of real users with no alternative (captcha or, hey guys, I bought the game, that would be an extremely expensive spam account...). Editing the link in works, though. Wonder at what point spambots will figure that one out.
