Yes, so the simple suggestion is for OSM to extend the API to expose the
wiki tags; something like
Something along the lines of:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/wiki/{lang}/{article}
And this would return the corresponding object(s).
Even better, if it was Linked Data API in the first place [1] ;)
Give me a bit and I can demonstrate (I need to recreate the index on the
node_tags column >_<) ;)
Cheers,
Claus

Hi,
Shouldn't OSM use Wikipedia URLs as UUIDs where applicable rather
than Wikipedia referring to database identifiers? (The answer is a
clear 'yes' from my side.)
In fact there are the (wikipedia, *) tags - but not sure how good
the quality is - what can be seen on a first glance is, that
people mix URLs and article names, and also encoding.
there are also other tags to point from certain OSM attributes to
wikipedia, e.g.
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/wikipedia%3Aoperator and
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/operator%3Awikipedia
but isn't this thread about pointing from outside to osm?
cheers,
Martin
