Another solution is to clone the wiki, it offers its github link and then make a new repo for the wiki alone and upload the files which are regular md files (github markdown). The good news is that you wont be losing any of the conveniences because github offers a markdown editor with live previews , the only you will be losing will be the automatic table of contents but that can be hosted as a seperate md file.
I have done this for creating a Wiki for Pharo you can find the example here https://github.com/kilon/PharoWiki/blob/master/README.md This can also be implemented as a branch to a project, usually the branch is named "gh-pages" but I dont think there is a restriction you can host the wiki then as a website which will be available using a link very similar to <username>.github.io or orgname if its a organisation. If it's done this way you and everyone else will enjoy all the privileges of a regular github repo. Because is markdown it's also compatible with gitlab and gitbooks , gitbook can take a wiki and easily turn it to a book with export to pdf etc. Is just a matter of setup, the default way of github wikis is not to give you access to such advanced features and instead prioritize ease of use. If you want full nuclear power then a regular github repo is the way to go. Of course "advanced mode" will give you also easy access to using Pillar or whatever you want to use. Frankly PR seems a bit overkill for a wiki, becoming a contributor to the wiki repo would make your life a lot easier with direct access to editing the md files online without the whole trouble of git pull, push, pull requests etc. But of course all that is up to Iceberg devs I started Pharo wiki as an experiment and it worked much better than I expected and of course far better than a regular Github wiki. Ease, straightforward and super flexible. I am more a Gitlab user nowdays but its the same workflow there too.
