Actually, as someone pointed out, in some sense dated URLs to Wikipedia pages

Yes, but you can only do that if (1) the author uses the
particular-version URL or (2) the author includes a visited-on note in
the citation. It's lovely, however, that in wiki-based systems you do
have this ablity, and I agree that it'd be nice to encourage its use.
(Now I'm going to crawl back into my bibliographic maniac's hole and
stop talking about this.)
