I think you've got to start with the bang to make it a community link.

Like this: !stick@sh.itjust.works

Thanks for that ... I was trying to remember how to do it and got lazy and didn't go any further

I'll fix it

I agree. "Exclamation point" sucks all the fun out of it.

Duckduckgo calls it "bang" for their special searchbar commands (like !gi makes it route the search through Google images), and I think more people should use that term instead.
