Other names for this idea
Another proposed term for this is SmartWiki. CommunityProgrammableWiki is more precise: SmartWiki implies some sort of advanced AI. But SmartWiki is quicker to type.SelfProgrammingWiki was another name for this concept (because, from the initial developer's point of view, once you write a CommunityProgrammedWiki, you could sit back and watch the wiki "program itself"!)
See also PublicScript. PublicScript is the generic idea of a web application whose script is modified by the community. This page is the specialization of that idea to wikis.
