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.
