Start by implementing the anti-spam measures that have been in the pipeline for oh-so-long, and which would finally make the Wiki sidebar relevant, instead of creating an ugh field around even visiting the Wiki - as I suspect is currently the case.
Next, rather than implement complex reward features such as the one proposed above, just try to catch posts and comments that contain Wiki-suitable material and point that out to their authors. Also, lead by example.
Totally this. It's hard for me to take the wiki seriously when spam is such a problem.
Other ideas: make a regular post highighting recent good edits to the wiki, and thanking the authors.
...and at the end of that post suggest the next topics that should be created or improved.
This! Regular posts with a breakdown of good recent progress and desired articles sounds like a wonderful thing. I love the current occasional posts that do this on other topics.
