License Table List
Perhaps the links for "Information", "License Text", should be wiki (SPDX_License_List/AGPL-3.0#LicenseText) or raw (http://spdx.org/wiki/SPDX_License_List/AGPL-3.0#LicenseText), as opposed to abstracted (License Text)?

License Master Pages
Each license has its own master wiki page, named after its "identifier", or "short name". Each license master wiki page contains the following sections:

= Information (Top level of information section)  == Full_Name (Full Name of license, as defined in SPDX spec)  == Upstream_Source (URL to upstream license text, if available, or location where license text was copied from)  == License_Sourced_Date (Date that license text was copied from Upstream_Source)  == License_Notes (Any other notes about the license) 

= Text (License text. This actually lives on its own page, named "short name"/Text. It is seamlessly imported into the master page, but can be referenced directly if desired.)

= Template (License template. This actually lives on its own page, named "short name"/Template. It is seamlessly imported into the master page, but can be referenced directly if desired.)

Text and Template examples
I think it is valuable to always refer to the license text and template sections on the license master page, whenever that information is likely to be viewed by humans, as the license master page provides other useful information to humans.  So, for AGPL-3.0:
 * the master page is http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/TomCallaway/SPDX_License_List/AGPL-3.0
 * a link to the license text (as found on the master page) is http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/TomCallaway/SPDX_License_List/AGPL-3.0#Text
 * a link to the license template (as found on the master page) is http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/TomCallaway/SPDX_License_List/AGPL-3.0#Template
 * the raw license text (this gets imported automatically into the master page, but edits happen here): http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/TomCallaway/SPDX_License_List/AGPL-3.0/Text
 * the raw license template (this gets imported automatically into the master page, but edits happen here): http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/TomCallaway/SPDX_License_List/AGPL-3.0/Template

Perhaps also adding a section providing a sample per file attribution, something like this for AGPL-3.0:
