I had the same problem, and after digging around that worked:

	RewriteEngine on
	php_flag register_globals 0
	# /wiki/Foo => /wiki/index.php?title=Foo
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
	RewriteRule ^wiki\/(.+)$ /wiki/index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]

The RewriteEngine on needs to be there, and the rewriting is better than 
the rule you have (which did not work on my server, either).

HTH,

 ". . . my work, which I've done for a long time, was not pursued in
 order to gain the praise I now enjoy, but chiefly from a craving after
 knowledge, which I notice resides in me more than in most other men. And
 therewithal, whenever I found out anything remarkable, I have thought it
 my duty to put down my discovery on paper, so that all ingenious people
 might be informed thereof." -- Antony van Leeuwenhoek. Letter of June
