I think the best bet would be to create a web site that had the SAGE
code for a given article and ask on the discussion pages to have a
link made to the particular page, because I think it would look kind
of messy and there are links to many sites that go into more detail.
Special web sites like a say a SAGE Mathematics Explorer attract a lot
of attention. I know of Cut-the-Knot
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut-the-knot) site, which is often
linked from Wikipedia. Note: I would not link to anything on the
public notebooks.

You might be able to get away with mentioning say on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_%28number_theory%29 that SAGE
supports the partition function and give an example. I use SAGE just
to play around so this is right down my ally. I just wrote some code
that produces the numbered lists with the partitions of a given
positive integer n just like the two examples in that Wikipedia
article. http://sagenb.com/partition_examples
