Thanks for the hint; this seems to do the trick:

(defun ke-wp-make-link ()
  "Create [[wikipedia link]]."
   (interactive "*")
   (let ((skeleton-end-newline nil))
     (if mark-active
         (skeleton-insert '(nil
                            "[[" _ "]]")
                          -1)
       (skeleton-insert '(nil
                          "[[" _ "]]")))))

(global-set-key "\C-c[" 'ke-wp-make-link)

Maybe it's worth to add this information to

Yes, this looks like a good idea.  Wondering why the default isn't
nil?
