I'm trying to add my thoughts to the second prototype feedback page and want to include three links to illustrate what I am talking about. I gave me an error saying external links are forbidden, but to make a request here.

Two links are to the desktop improvements features page right here on mediawiki.org and the third is to a screenshot I put on imgur.com. I didn't think uploading a screenshot is a good use of MediaWiki disk (and filename) space.

Hello! I've added an exception for that page. You can now post links there

"I didn't think uploading a screenshot is a good use of MediaWiki disk (and filename) space." - not really, Commons has >80 million screenshots and adding one more isn't going to make a difference. I would rather have you upload to Commons rather than imgur, because not only is it related to WMF, imgur links can go down.

Good to know. I have uploaded it to Commons and edited my feedback section appropriately. Thanks.
