Since the authoy is credited in our history there is no need for a link to the external site how much you want to push this point is up to you.
So if i use text from wikipedia in an other wiki i only have to write a comment ("from ... ") into the history when adding it ?
If the other wiki is also licensed under the GFDL, then yes, pretty much. The GFDL has more complicated attribution requirements (i.e. the last five authors, or the most prominent five authors, or something like that) but to my knowledge very few people follow them or take them seriously in the context of community-edited documents, and attribution to Wikipedia itself is probably the most anyone can expect.
