The main difference is how they're used. Wikis are used for fan bases and communities. Usually the information is stored by a loving community and is accurate. Unless it's been vandalized lately.

Meanwhile wikipedia, usually it's used by people for the same example that started this thread, something factual in the real world that for all you know is not true. When it comes to something like this or using sources for a research paper, a credible source that doesn't have a chance of being inaccurate is what you want.
