Alesandro, Tk has been around for probably more than 20 years. It is established in many applications. I would think that tkinter is well established. However, you have to consider that computer science is an ever-changing field. Some things that were well established 20 years ago are gone now. And, 40 years ago: ever used punched cards, reel-to-reel tape, Lisp, COBOL or Fortran? Things will change. If you really want insurance against change, grab all the tools you use in source form, to the extent they are available and maintain your current environment as long as your hardware holds out. You can get Linux, compilers, Tk, Python and all the Python packages you use in your Wiki project and keep those going.
When I first started to read your post, I assumed that you were developing the wiki as a learning exercise. Then when I got to your question about long term availability I realized you want a production tool. So, I just have to ask now, why not use what has been developed by others. HTML browsers are an ideal tool for navigating Wikis. I am not sure of what role Tk plays in your project, but developing a full-browser capability seems like a lot of work. There are plenty of open-source wikis available. I think there are probably wikis available written in Python. They need not provide any graphical interface to work. You can even buy a production, enterprise class commercial wiki from Atlassian for $10.
