Wikipedia URLs are created automatically by substituting the / 
wikipedia/en_id key of the topic into the following URL:

	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=8980330

... where 8980330 is the /wikipedia/en_id key.

You can retrieve the /wikipedia/en_id (aka the "wpid") from freebase  
using any variant of the following MQL:

[
   {
     "id" : "/en/barack_obama",
     "key" : {
       "namespace" : "/wikipedia/en_id",
       "value" : null
     }
   }
]
