Wikimedia already has a whole bunch of domain names that have to be paid for (and renewed). If we purchase wikipedia.de then to be fair then we would have to do for every other wikipedia.xx where xx corresponds to country code that is also a language code we use.

I think it might be a good idea to buy it for at least the most active Wikipedias, where there is press coverage happening. Sure, to be fair we should have it for all of them, but maybe the top 5-10 active Wikipedias should be a higher priority, since that's where people are most likely to get confused.
