I didn't know you can just ask IA to grab a page before their crawler gets to it. In that case yeah it would make sense for Wikipedia to ping them automatically.

There's a /save/<url> endpoint that archives the page you point it at.
You can see a text box for it on the right, if you go on the waybackmachine's homepage. I used it yesterday.
