Wikipedia is certainly large enough, in terms of traffic. And as anyone can edit it, it would seem to be a user-to-user service, making it a Category 1 provider, equivalent to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube.

And their wiki page about 'breasts' certainly shows photographs of female nipples. Their pages on penises are likewise illustrated. They also have pages about suicide and self-harm.

Wikipedia is also a website we could reasonably expect children to access.

And Wikipedia did lobby the government, before the act was passed, to make it clear they weren't subject to it, which the government opted not to do.

So it would certainly appear they are subject to it.
