Try to install the org-wiki package from github as below:

(org-wiki :location (recipe
                     :fetcher github
                     :repo "caiorss/org-wiki"))

But I received this error:

Warning: (error "Package lacks a file header")
Error getting PACKAGE_DESC: (error Package lacks a file header)

How could I install this kind of package?

Take a look at org-wiki.el you are trying to install. Unfortunately, quelpa (or package.el) can not install packages without proper meta info. So it's an upstream issue you should report to that project.
