Let's talk about design.

Clearly we wouldn't want to allow *any* number of links, because having a thousand links would break the layout in some way.  Unless we put it behind a "show more" control of some sort when we reach the "too many to lay out reasonably" point, wherever that is (and it's probably different on phones and desktops).

At the other end of the spectrum, we currently only allow one, plus a Twitter handle.  (The wireframe for the profile page also shows a GitHub link.)  We've been thinking about this as "provider + link", like Twitter ID, personal web site, etc.  (I think that's how the database schema is set up, but I'm not sure.)  Individual communities might want to add relevant "providers", like maybe a science community would have a place to add an ArXiv author page.

Do we need multiple arbitrary links -- that is, should the cardinality of "web site" be higher than 1?  Or do we need more *types* of links, and if so which ones?

I'm not expressing an opinion here.  How we would design it depends on the answers to these questions.  So before we add anything we'd need to figure out what need we're trying to address.
