You might be interested in the list=geosearch API call. I used it in
my demo service ici, which displays articles about your current
location:
http://inkdroid.org/ici/
I actually ended up pulling out the api querying bits into a separate
Javascript library called wikigeo that takes some coordinates, and
will query the Wikipedia API, and format the results as GeoJSON for
easy placement on Leaflet or Google Maps.
