what Greg said, Common Crawl is an excellent data source to answer these questions, see:
for aggregate stats about referrals to individual articles by traffic and aggregated at
domain level you mail also be interested in this dataset:

how many non-wikipedia pages point to a certain
wikipedia page
I guess the only way we have to know this (other than grepping
request logs for referrers, which would be quite a nightmare) is to
access the Google Webmaster account for
wikipedia.org (to which a
couple employees had access, IIRC).
There are a couple of other ways to figure out inlinks:
* Common Crawl
* Commercial SEO services like Moz or Ahrefs
In the medium term the Internet Archive is going to be generating this
kind of link data as part of the Wayback Machine search engine effort.
And finally, Edison, counting the number of inlinks without
considering their rank or popularity will probably leave you
vulnerable to people orchestrating googlebombs. And you might want to
also know the anchortext, that's extremely valuable for search
indexing.
