Yes. You already said what the generic is: "Wiki
encyclopedia". Anyone
can
say they're one of those. Wikipedia is not
generic.
It just seems as obvious abbreviation to me.
Xerox is also an abbreviation for xerography, but it's
still a trademark. (I think the fact that the word
'xerox' is in common use is irrelavent to this
analogy)
