Once upon a time :-) I wrote a wikipedia mode that would display wiki pages (no edit), and when hitting a non-existing link as a logged-in user, one would get a framed (evil!) page with the matching wikipedia page, a small header showing an "import" button. "Import" would copy the wikipedia text to that wiki. It even did automatic image imports.
I don't know what happened to that script, but it should be easy enough to set up again (only the image import was a bitch).
We should run this for some time in parallel with an in-wikipedia validation feature test. That way, we see the pros and cons of each system right away.
