Actually, while I may be the only one against the idea, adding emotes to the wiki chat is a terrible idea.

Wiki Chat already suffers from massive lag, adding emoticons to the chat means it needs to load up more images, and thus render more and more things inorder to function. The overall effect means an even laggier chat- and on a wiki like this that is mostly international, you will be shooting yourself in the foot.
