You should upload your maps to Wikimedia Commons, from where they 
can be used in all languages of Wikipedia.  Place the uploaded 
images (PNG or SVG) in the category 
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:OpenStreetMap_maps

In that category, you will already find over 500 map images.  If 
you click on, for example, 
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cape_Town_City_Bowl_OSM_map.svg

then there should be a "check usage" tab at the top of the page, 
that will list Wikipedia pages that use that particular map.
