That reminds me...can we add a little <permanent URL for this version> at the bottom of the article pages?
We can find the link to the archived copy of previous versions, but there's presently no way to make a hard link to the presently displayed version.
That would be a very simple step in making Wikipedia usable as an "authoritative" resource, for one thing.
It's also helpful for internal discussions if you want to have a discussion comparing different versions of the same entry.
Yes - this is a very good idea and should be enough while we argue in circles about just how to set-up "stable" versions of Wikipedia content.
