[Ontology-editors] new system for citing Wikipedia (Re: Wikipedia)

[Midori Harris]

Hi,

I've taken this idea and run with it:

Because Chris has added Wikipedia to GO.xrf_abbs, we no longer have to put 
URLs in definition dbxrefs if we want to cite Wikipedia as a def source. 
Instead, citations should now be in the form 'Wikipedia:Page_name'.

In OBO-Edit, put 'Wikipedia' in the 'Database' field and the page name, as 
it appears at the end of the URL, in the 'ID' field.

I've converted the existing Wikipedia def dbxrefs to the new format, and 
filled in lots of missing page names as well. One nice thing about the new 
system is that it forces us to include the page name.

cheers,
