Is Spanish wikipedia written in Mexican spanish or Spain style Spanish~??

Mexican Spanish is only one variety of the Latin American Spanishes, and standard written Spanish prose doesn't seem to be particularly different in the Hispanophone world. Nevertheless, the question is interesting, information from the corresponding Spanish article:

Los artículos se nombran según el uso más común del español y, en su redacción, se tratan de evitar localismos 
para que cualquier hispanohablante pueda entenderlos sin dificultad.

(I don't know Spanish perfectly, but an estimated rough translation would be:)

The articles are named according to the usage most common in Spanish, and in their writing, it's attempted to
avoid "localisms" so that each Spanish speaker could understand them without difficulty.

As a digression, the Portuguese Wikipedia appears to follow local standards indiscriminately and varyingly depending on who happened to wrote the section:

Portuguese articles can contain small variations of writing, as European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese 
have minor variations in vocabulary and usage. Articles can contain written characteristics of 
one or the other variant depending on who wrote the article.
