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

[Chris Mungall]

Thanks Midori!

I notice "exocyst" has the xref at the term level, and "exocyst  
assembly" has the Exocyst page at the def-xref level. What's the  
policy here? It seems odd to source the def of the assembly term from  
wikipedia page (which largely describes the structure and function but  
not the assembly), but not for the CC itself.
