What about just writing down the URL in ink?
That's hardly transparent for the GNU FDL.
Even linking in a web page seems rather fishy to me.
As an institution, /we/ really would prefer it;
and as long as Wikipedia is up, it's ethically OK.
But it probably violates the letter of the FDL (although IANAL).
To see why this could be a problem, consider:
If something ever happened to Wikipedia,
we would no longer be giving credit to anybody.
That's OK for own compliance with the License,
since we're not publishing their work anymore either.
But how is the visitor to another site to see the credit?
As for writing down a URL, that's even worse.
What if the reader has no access to the Internet?
At least another web page can reasonably assume this.
