OSMF telling "the Wikikpedia people" what to do would be like "the 
Wikipedia people" telling us what to do. We'd laugh at them and go on.

A Wikipedia link from OSM is just like any other web link - you have no 
guarantee that its target will remain present (or online). Let's just 
accept this and get on with things. By all means, put a link to 
Encycoplaedia Britannica if you want but how sure are you that this 
outlasts the Wikipedia article?
