Though, "Wiki" as a noun meaning Wikipedia? Ugh, ugh, ugh. Surely we can do better things than that to the language; people already have a hard time differentiated other wikis vs Wikipedia. "Wiki'd" as a verb is not as bad, but 'whipped' (under any spelling) is better.
It's already common usage. Hopefully wikis will become more common in general.
(Common phonecall I get: people who wonder how they could do their own "Wikipedia" in their company. I have to explain that "wiki" is generic, the concept is not patented, there's lots of different software, MediaWiki is really easy and lots of hosting companies offer it in a cheap hosting package, talk to your IT guy, the *hard* bit is getting people to want to use it.)
