Its true that Backlink from Wikipedia can bring you traffic. But I doubt the fact that it brings authority. All the links from Wikipedia is nofollow, that means no link value is passed. And its not so difficult to get a backlink there. You can signup as a editor and then edit article related to your link and place a link. But if the link is not relavent, some other editor can remove it.

Getting backlinks from Wikipedia is very easy. All you need is good research for dead links in your niche. Once, you found the dead links, create a similar content offered by the dead link and get some trust to your account by editing other dead links in Wikipedia. Once you get enough credibility to your account, you can edit the article of your choice in Wikipedia and replace the dead links with your own link which will earn backlinks from Wikipedia.
Apart from that, you can also search the dead link in Ahrefs and Majestic tools to find more sources for the sites which linked the dead link, which will give you access to more backlink sources. You can reach out to those webmasters and ask them to replace the dead link with your new link. In this way, you will get more backlinks to your website.
