Imagine you only read/only copy/only print the text, all information where to look will be lost (Wikipedia has lots of articles). The easiest option to do better is using an interwiki-style link (i.e. see Wikipedia:Mediant or see Wikipedia: Mediant), another option is copy the original HTML title and URL (i.e. Mediant - Wikipedia) - maybe your browser has a plugin for that.
