The Wikimedia Foundation almost certainly qualifies as a service provider, as we don't generate the content (editors do).
Someone can just sue without a takedown - Under DMCA, however, if you're plausibly a service provider, and you didn't get a takedown notice, you generally can just take it down and file for summary judgement under DMCA and win and get fees, so no plaintiffs' attorney would realistically do so.
