If you're on ES 1.x, you can still use Rivers and there is a River dedicated for pulling docs from Wikipedia: [[ANN] Elasticsearch Wikipedia River plugin 2.6.0 released](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/ann-elasticsearch-wikipedia-river-plugin-2-6-0-released/2440)

However, Rivers are deprecated in ES 2.x, so you'd need another approach long-term. I'm not aware of a Wikipedia LS plugin, but it couldn't be hard to write.
