I think it should depend on language. if wiki in in english, use "Mecca"
if in Arabic, spell it as how arabic spell it.
and if it in Malay, it should spell "Mekah"

some times i also wonder how come some name of place is translated and 
the rest id not.

in Malay, we call Egypt as "Mesir" , Saudi Arabia as "Arab Saudi"
