Try this script in opac-detail.pl, following 
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/JQuery_Library:

var names = $('h5.author a').not('.authlink');
for (var i=0; i < names.length; i++) {
        var name_string = $(names[i]).text(); // mostly surname, name
        var fs = name_string.split(', ');
        var H = new Array;
        H.push(' <span class="W_link">');
        H.push('<a target="_blank" 
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=');
        H.push(encodeURIComponent(fs[1]+' '+fs[0]));
        H.push('">[W]</a>');
        H.push('</span>');
        $(names[i]).after(H.join(''));
};

It adds a link to the right of each name. Links are searches on Wikipedia, but 
if the search is exact, W redirects the browser to the article.
Change [W] with an icon of your choice.
