There should be a way to reference a single page on Wikipedia. The most
important use case is for giving a reference for some kind of information,
where the information exist on Wikipedia but another source is not known for
the moment or can't easily be stripped out from Wikipedia.

The value type should probably be able to point to other projects than
Wikipedia, by giving a prefix. For example "w:en:Oslo" could point to the
article about Oslo on the English Wikipedia, while "mw:Extension:Wikibase"
points to the page about Wikibase on Mediawiki.org.

The implementation would be very close to whats done for the type "Commons
media file".
