Wikis are wrapped inside web2py actions and AFAIK there is no connection between wiki indexes, body, etc and the standard url/page blocks structure provided by the scaffolding app, except the naming convention adopted. However, I think that auth.wiki could be used that way, but perhaps it should be implemented outside the standard distribution as a plugin (something like a wikipress).
Accessing the wiki tables can be used , i.e., for user defined mantainance routines or custom content management user interfaces. --
