Nope, it's a wildcard cert -- if you view the cert contents you see that the subject includes

CN = *.wikipedia.org

Actually, it's a bit more complicated than that. We don't just serve .wikipedia.org from our frontends, but also e.g. .wikisource.org etc.

So yes, we are using SNI but for wildcart certs :)
