At this point it looks like all links inside of the community pages link directly back to Wikipedia, including the history, 'source,' and 'edit' tabs.  Also, all images in the community pages, when clicked, take you directly to Wikipedia.

It doesn't appear that all Facebook users have access to community pages yet.  I can see them, but I can't get to them from my profile.  I think they're rolling the service out slowly, so some changes to how the WP articles are presented seems likely.
