Whatever icon is chosen, it will suffer from the limitation that it conveys any write-action (such as "comment", "answer", "send", "chat"..), more that the "(wiki-)edit" action. Therefor the new icon should be brought into the wiki context, i.e. be explained. Suggestion: Use text to convey that context, e.g. by adding a badge like the following to the default skin of wiki engines. Text, color, and shapes can be localized, yet the icon (whichever the final one will be) remains unchanged. See [http://www.osafa.org/francais/Accueil here] or [http://www.barcamp.at/Home here] or [http://www.osafa.org/kiswahili/Mwanzo here] for localized examples on Mediawiki.
