In a post:

I quoted a message from the post: (see history)

In the post I’m quoting, a link appeared.
In the original post, I removed the citation, but the link remained.

I wonder if there is some entry we can add to our `package.json` that would force `npm install` to explode with a “sorry, npm is not supported use yarn”

Ultra low priority though.
