Scenerio: Bases are loaded. The pitcher throws a wild pitch. Does the batter get credited with an RBI?
If he gets hit by the pitch or walks, he DOES... so what about a wild pitch?

Mostly, no, because the run scoring had nothing to do with the batter's actions, and he's still at the plate.
Exception: if the WP is Ball Four, then the runner on third is entitled to home, and the batter is credited (his action was NOT swinging and letting the pitch go by) with one RBI. If the other two runners attempt to score, no RBI, because they were taking the risk of being put out and were not entitled to more than one base due to the walk.

There are a few cases where a run can score without an RBI 1) Grounded into double play (by rule no RBI awarded) 2) Steal of Home 3) Wild Pitch 4) Passed Ball 5) Error with 2 outs or when the run would not have scored (in the mind of the official scorer) had there not been an error. You get RBI's when 1) Walk with the bases loaded 2) HBP with the bases loaded 3) Your hit allows the runner to score 4) Your out (ground out, fly out..) allows the runner to score 5) An error on the fielder (if less than 2 out) in which the runner would have scored anyway without the error. Example: 1 out, runner on third, ground ball to the 2nd baseman who boots it. You'd still get an RBI if the scorer thinks the runner would have scored without the error. I think that should cover everything.

No, the batter does not get the RBI. Although I'm sure they wouldn't mind if they did. It is considered a Passed Ball or Willd Pitch, but a Run still gets charged to the pitcher.

On the wild pitch no RBI on the other 2 it is an RBI!

No. A wild pitch goes to the pitcher. Run scored on wild pitch. I think Chipmaker hit it on the head with the other scenarios.

No. It is scored as a WP. No RBI. A depending on the official scorer, the run is unearned. Does the pitcher get a Error? I know on a Passed ball it is an E-2. hmmmm

A wild pitch is technically an error, so the batter would not get an RBI.

PS Wild pitch or Passed ball are not charged as errors people.
