I'm not suggesting we should claim a trademark on the word "wiki" (it wouldn't stand up). I'm suggesting that "wiki" when used as the name of an encyclopaedia is sufficiently similar to "Wikipedia" to cause confusion in the market (which is what trademarks are designed to prevent).
That's what I think would be verging on wrong. IMO. Presumably the WMF has sufficient diplomatic experience to make it less problematic for the actual trademarks.
