In general, smart programs make clickable links of <b>any</b> URL
in <b>any</b> text field they display.<br>
But, to be recognized as such, an URL must start (as always) with
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://">http://</a>...<br>
So, you may have something like source=<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wikipedia.org/">http://wikipedia.org/</a>...
2015; <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://anything.else">http://anything.else</a>... 2010<br>
OSM.org will make two links (1).<br>
<br>
The wikipedia=* tag is special in that it need no <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://">http://</a>... to make
a link: the renderer will compose the URL.<br>
But, to have it compose correctly, =* must have the prescribed
contents.<br>
Just "en:Teak" etc. as explained in Martin Koppenhoefer's excellent
reply.<br>
