It depends. I would have done better to put decentralised in quotes myself.
It was being used to refer to the fact that a company wiki isn't under a central authorities control. This was the common contextual usage of decentralised in this thread (stemming from the fact that all twitter accounts are under a central authorities control).
"decentralised" is such a mess of a term by itself.

My Zookeeper cluster is "decentralized" because I can shoot nodes dead and the remaining ones will handle their business as far as continuing operation.
