Hi Tilman, Crossref has been a strong supporter of a number of initiatives within the community over the last year, including the Wikipedia Library and sponsoring WikiCite https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite_2016 . Also, we are one of the biggest referrers to DOI -- in that the Wikipedia communities have decided to use it as a major identifier within both Wikipedia and WikiData.
I would think they are already part of our community -- or a least a well used part of our research ecosystem.
