I took it as an extension of the concept of "truthiness." "Truthiness" is Colbert's right-wing alter-ego's gold standard for belief. "Wikireality" is the reality one might manipulate in order to shape truthiness.
I don't think he intended it as a commentary on Wikipedia, but on the tendency of many in the public eye to deliberately defy facts in order to maintain certain illusions.
