They have an explicit rule against original research: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research So it’s in the same class as your own papers. Citing it directly is regurgitation. The more this happens, the worse the quality gets. Same as saving and resaving a jpeg, or when AI gets trained on AI slop.
