Hello Sterling,
Thank you for forwarding this information and for clarifying the
situation. I apologize for the lack of clarity in my statement. My
statement with regards to wikis not supporting JavaScript was in reference
to your directive to click the 'Edit' button on your wiki in order to add
the ads to it. However, if you do have access to the templates of the
site, it is possible to implement the JavaScript directly into the HTML
template. As previously noted, depending on if you implement it with
frames, the ads may or may not be targeted towards the user added content
of your wiki.
Please feel free to reply to this email if you have additional technical
questions or concerns. For general program or account questions, please
email adsense-support@google.com.
Sincerely,
Leslie
The Google Team

Well I'm afraid the information, despite its source, is completely and
100% factually incorrect. Since a wiki is simply a web site, it supports
any and all HTML constructs.
The user-written text portion is -- just like the user-supplied text in
a forum, blog, or other such site -- generally limited, but that's not
where you would be putting advertisements.

Hello Sterling,
Thank you for your email. Please note that our ad code is JavaScript code.
Unfortunately, wikis do not support JavaScript code. Additionally, at this
time, we do not offer an alternative method of generating ads. Please do
not change or alter the ad code in any way, as this is against our program
policies.
We are always working to improve the AdSense program and I have forwarded
your feedback about wikis to our team.
Please feel free to reply to this email if you have additional technical
questions or concerns. For general program or account questions, please
email adsense-support@google.com.

I've created a wiki site http://peswiki.com and would like to insert
AdSense
code into it, but find that some of the syntax are picked up by wiki and
displayed rather than the ad displaying.
Has you been able to come up with a work-around fix?
I'm using mediawiki for the driver.
Here is a page to show you how the page appears.
