Not sure if its something related, I got a wikipedia link from someone which included `&wprov=sfti1` as query string as well.

Unrelated. The Wikimedia Foundation has actually documented the wprov query parameter. It's used to track the source of a link; "sfti1" is "Share a Fact on iOS for text shares, feature version 1".
