Are you allowed to use links to other websites in your creature description?

I have a few creatures named after songs and bands, and would like to put a youtube link to the song or band, but I'm not sure if that is allowed. You're often not, and I definitely don't want to do it is if it's not okay, but I couldn't find it clearly in the rules or Player Guide.
Anyone knows if you may use links to other websites? I'm personally only interested in my creature description, but it could be also interesting to know if it is allowed on th forums, or your profile.

@blub
As long as the link does not fall into any of these categories I think it's ok, but I think you should double check with a mod

The Eggcave Site Guidelines say that these are prohibited:

-Links to harmful websites (cookie grabbers, trojans, viruses, worms)
-Links to suggestive, obscene, or pornographic web sites
-Links to scam web sites
-Links to chat rooms

As long as the video doesn't go against Egg Cave rules, its fine.

@gryffindor16 Thanks! I saw those, but wasn't entirely sure if it meant all other sites would be okay (and I've barely seen anyone using websites links):/

@Orderedchaos Thank you for the response!! Good, and glad to know 😸
