So when people stop linking to Wikipedia, Wikipedia will be
destroyed ? Or do I miss something here ?</div>

That suggestion sounds to me as bizarre as wanting to replace

The question is not "people stopping linking to Wikipedia", it is
"commanding them to do so".<br>
"deprecating" Wikipedia for OSM is causing the "destruction" of its
OSM usage.<br>
Should Wikipedia become less interesting, the deprecation will
happen by itself.<br>
