In other words, the use of "wiki" predates wikipedia (wikipedia gets its name since it was a encyclopedia using the wiki system)
(speaking only personally) The consistent WMF position has been that "Wikipedia" is a proper name and a trademark - but "wiki" is a generic word for "user-editable website" and anyone can use it.
So if they call it "wiki-" something, even if it's an encyclopedia, that's fine, but if they call it "Wikipedia" or appear to be associated with Wikipedia or WMF in a way they aren't, the Foundation would probably ask them nicely to stop doing that.
