-I don't find searches for 'Wiki' odd at all. Most of the people searching are probably interested in the entymology. It's not like we called it 'Quickipedia' or 'Upedia'.
But that implies we are getting huge numbers of people who arrive at Wikipedia and have no idea what it is. I don't see that you would read up on [[Wiki]] then next week come back and read up on it again. I wonder what link it is that sends them there? If it was a link on [[Wikipedia]], then [[Wikipedia]] would logically have at least as many page views as [[Wiki]] does.
Google for "Wiki". The top item is the Wikipedia page [[Wiki]].
Many people don't use bookmarks/favorites. They use Google (or another search engine). And why type "Wikipedia" when "wiki" works just as well?
