Wikipedia as standard information field
It would be very useful (and easy to implement) to have a new information field where you can add a link to that person's wikipedia page. This could be used to then enhance the famous relatives feature, which currently lists very few people.
I think it would then be fantastic if the famous relatives feature returned everyone with a wikipedia page. This could be sorted by the strength of the relationship, which would be of interest to some people, or by the length of the wikipedia page, which would return people by how famous they were.

Just thought of this idea too and found your suggestion. :)
I would love to see this in order to tie into the famous relatives feature as well as a way of maybe automating the extraction of information for the About section shown on the familysearch website.
It could be done so that the Biography section of the page would be automatically tied into the About section, or something similar.

Or the Wikipedia page could just be added as a source since source can have live URLs in them.
