For what this particular bikeshed is worth, as "Wikipedia" is a proper 
noun, usually the forms that sound the most correct are "see the 
Wikipedia article for more info" or "see Wikipedia for more info".

You're not supposed to use articles with proper nouns such as place 
names, and that includes well-known site names.

(Although Vortigaunts get a free pass.  They remember the Freeman.)

Given that in this case you're hyperlinking to a specific article, 
perhaps you should just add "article" to the hyperlink, as in "the 
_Wikipedia article_".
