"Importing geodata from Wikipedia

Wikipedia articles are often geocoded, and it has been suggested a
number of times that we should import data from wikipedia (for
example, using the pages on villages in a particular country to add
place=village nodes). However, it is believed that a proportion of
wikipedia's coordinate data is derived from Google Maps, and so isn't
actually available under the stated license. For this reason, it is an
established principle in OpenStreetMap that we don't import geodata
from wikipedia.

There seems a high potential to use the interwikilinks of Wikipedia to
translate geographical objects in different languages. Also other data
like the population of a city could be check with help of Wikipedia.
For such a usage there should be no legal problems. "

significa: no
