Thank you. :)  OK - here it goes. I am sorry I depicted your actions before as
trolling.

IMO direct links to each article would be overkill - you already have the
author info and the diffs. The link to wikipedia.org takes care of the
disclaimer. And the mention of Wikipedia is appreciated.

Which reminds me - it would be great to have a command like {{pagename}} output
the page name of the MediaWiki page it is on. Then linking to every Wikipedia
article directly would be super easy for you (if you still want to do that) so
long as {{pagename}} replaced spaces with underscores. This would also be very
useful for MediaWiki messages (such as the copyright infringement notice). 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/{{pagename}} is all you would need to have on
every page.
