Let me quote User:Dgrant "if the link text says

current form, and I think people are discouraged from reading the
Copyright page b/c the link is titled "GFDL."
That sounds reasonable. Unless there's a huge objection I'll make the
change tomorrow.
As a reminder for those listening in, the suggested new version of the
notice reads:
"All text is available under the terms of the
[[Wikipedia:Text of the GNU Free Documentation License|
GNU Free Documentation License]]. See [[Wikipedia:Copyrights]]
for suggested practices."
thus giving explicitly separate links for the license text and our
explanation of what it means and how it applies.
(It's still got the "text" problem, but that's a separate can of
worms.)
