While I personally have never concerned myself with gaming Wikipedia or even trying to gain their links, I know many that have. While I can see this hurting a bit with the loss of some link love, I think a primary benefit remains, the traffic that comes through these links.

Due to Wikipedia’s SE love, it appears many sites are able to take advantage of some good quality traffic coming through their links within the big wiki. So I am not going to knock them for this move. I think it was rather smart and something they should have done long ago. As far as web resources go, it is excellent and this move should help it remain that way.
