What you are asking for is called a hyperlink.  This forum already has that feature.  You can add a hyperlink by using the following BB code

[*url=www.PBRneedstolearn2useforums.xyz]words[/url*]

If you remove the asterisks at the beginning and end of the bracketed portions you'll end up with something like this:

Wikipedia

Use the chain icon

OK, I put a link at the end of the page taramarie referenced; we'll see if the wikipedia authorities allow it to remain posted.

Thanks, I think Wikipedia's TOS prohibit me from doing that

I don't know what TOS means (I am poor at decipherhing acronyms), but perhaps because you are personally in charge of this forum you might not be allowed to post a link. Interestingly, the article itself mentioned this "message board" in discussing whether the 4T began in 2001 (9-11), 2005 (Katrina) or 2008 (Great Recession), and that there was disagreement here; certainly a big topic on this (and the former) forum. But I don't remember if links to other sites are allowed within the text of an article.
