Would the effect of that be to guarantee that Wikipedia is the first result for just about everything, and nothing else could ever get close? ;-P I can't see them doing it, 'tho, because Wikilinks are just internal and don't really contribute to the 'relevance' of a particular result on the wider 'net.

Insufficient geekitude. References are just academic.
Someone needs to propose to Google that they auto-expand [[Wikilinks]] to Wikipedia URLs ;-)
I would join you in taking the suggestion too seriously (it's always fun), but I don't understand it. Auto-expand them *where*? Google is a search engine, not a web browser, it doesn't control how webpages it links to are parsed.
