wi.ki is not available - it's been purchased by a company trying to sell gTLD domains. A couple months ago wi.ki was still available, but not anymore (http://www.wi.ki/)
More than that, they are using Wikipedia's logo stolen from Wikimedia Commons without attribution and infringing on the WMF's trademark.

Fwiw, wi.ki isn't really available. I looked into it years ago, and Kiribati charges excessive amounts for their domains (like 10 grand).
Dunno
if that's changed.
I'm not sure I'd say wi.ki is off the table... aside from a domain donation, the Wikimedia Foundation now has an annual budget of somewhere around $30 million, I think. If it wanted to drop a few thousand dollars to buy a shorter domain name, I think it could afford to. The question has become whether doing so is a good idea. :-)
