That said, hell yeah - make [[Wiki]] a feature!
Search engine hits explain that article pretty well, by the way - compare the hit rate for "Wikipedia". For better or worse, people think we are simply called "wiki"; the very high hit rate for [[Wiki]] will be people *searching for Wikipedia generally*, not finding Wikipedia articles in search results.
(It may seem a little odd to those of us used to manually entering URLs, but remember a staggeringly large fraction of users search for specific sites in order to get to them...)
But, yes. Even if it isn't what people are looking for, it's still what they see. A damn good article is, on the whole, the sort of thing we'd like them to have as their first exposure to the site...
