You might be interested in the list=geosearch API call. I used it in
my demo service ici, which displays articles about your current
location:
http://inkdroid.org/ici/
I actually ended up pulling out the api querying bits into a separate
Javascript library called wikigeo that takes some coordinates, and
will query the Wikipedia API, and format the results as GeoJSON for
easy placement on Leaflet or Google Maps.

Hi,
wiki exposes the nearby search of articles:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby
I now you can use prop=coordinates to expose the coordinates of one article.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=coordinates&tit…
Is there any api to expose the nearby service for fetching articles close to
one's coordinate?
How to do the nearby above?
