Description
It would be pretty cool. But we probably don't want every page load reaching out to Google. A good compromise could be to write a nightly cron job that grabs all DOIs from the wiki, queries Google Scholar for the current citation counts, and updates a JSON file somewhere. Then harvest the JSON file from the wiki with some javascript to display the counts.

Research direction
Start by locating how the wiki is built, where its JavaScript runs, and whether scheduled jobs or generated JSON files already exist. Trace how DOI links are represented, then define the nightly Google Scholar update and the wiki display; done means citation counts appear without a Google Scholar request on each page load.
