Why not "*.wiki"?
Simplicity!
There is more than one wiki and no file format matches the other. Thus: "*.wikipedia".
I originally used "wiki markup language" (WML) on the grounds that I wasn't going to distinguish between the different wiki markup languages.
But wouldn't most systems try and parse that as Wireless Markup Language? Are there actually any three-letter combinations left unused by Mime types and software data formats?
Yes: .wff for "wikipedia file format" seems not to be used by anyone else. (And then there's the other meaning of wff for amusement's sake).
