One is a complete URL and then it's possible to provide a <lang>:<article> reference to it. If I were to tag the article version on the Icelandic Wikipedia, non-Icelandic speakers wouldn't have much use for it. That's why the Wikipedia POI map provides a link to the article in the language configured in the UI, if one can be found through interwiki links. I know there is an API for that, somewhere.
For some reason, it's also possible to tag Wikipedia articles with wikipedia:<lang>=<article_name_or_url>. I think the Wikipedia POI map ignores those but I'm not sure. - Svavar Kjarrval
