Descriptions for links, non-duplication of links[edit]

Douglas.hahn, please take a look at this pair of edits to see how duplication of references can be eliminated and how links can be helpfully (I hope) described.

Stage by stage: first,

<ref>A first reference that says XYZ.</ref>
<ref>A second reference that says XYZ.</ref>

can be converted to:

<ref name="a_name">XYZ</ref>
<ref name="a_name" />

and secondly,

Amazing article about Beattie. http://www.greatstuffaboutart.org/beattie

can be converted to

[http://www.greatstuffaboutart.org/beattie Amazing article about Beattie]
