Description

This task involves the work of creating a community configurable way to include links within Edit Check/Suggestion Cards.

Stories

As an experienced volunteer encountering an Edit Suggestion, I'd value seeing the specific policy/guideline it is based off of, so that I can ensure editing interfaces remain in alignment with the consensus volunteers have documented in Wikipedia policies and style guidelines.
As a newcomer who encounters an Edit Suggestion they are curious about, I want to know the specific policy/guideline it is based off so that I can feel more confident I am responding to the suggestion in question in a way that is aligned with what the project specifies.

Open questions

1. Does the linked text need to be included within the card description? Are we satisfied with it being "bolted on" as a Learn more link at the end?
2. What will we do in cases where no local policy/guideline page exists? Omit a link entirely? Offer a generic link? Something else?

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor/+/1234377 made it so that wikitext in all the description messages will be expanded, so the existing method of editing messages on-wiki will let people add links wherever they want. We also have URL-only messages that can be overridden for the checks where we have a link in the default message.

The functionality this ticket is describing is already implemented, per what David shared above.
