On FlyerTalk, when you see a wiki icon next to a thread name within a forum index, it indicates that the thread has a Wikipost. On FT, wikis may contain a summary of the thread discussion, topic FAQs, instructions for proper use of that particular thread, links to related topics, etc.
If you're not seeing the wiki at the top of the thread, it may be hidden or minimized. Just look for a dark blue bar above the "Post Reply" button that says Wikipost, and click the "+" button on the far right side of that bar to display the wiki.

You can click in the middle of the bottom line of the wiki to see the rest of it.
Be aware that the minimize/maximize buttons seem to apply site wide until you make a different choice.

Beyond what has been posted here so far: wiki posts are, like Wikipedia or WikiTravel, maintained by the community; it's not delegated to moderators or even the creator of a wikipost, it's crowd sourced to the "FlyerTalk brain trust" of knowledgeable members.
Any signed in member with ninety posts and ninety days of membership can edit (or create) a wikipost. This keeps "mega threads" user friendlier, and can be useful to summarize information, direct attention to specific posts, etc.
I just authored a wikipost for this thread (see above), adding a bit of boilerplate I like to include to start, then other information good for a mega thread wikipost.
Wiki posts are a relatively new tool for making the FT knowledge base easily accessible to all of us.

I have over 90 posts and am over 90 days old, but I still can't edit wikis.
EDIT: The edit button shows up now next to the print button on the bottom of the wiki. It probably takes a few hours to update.
