Personnally, I like solution 3: it is just a question of writting a link to the wiki in RGG. If a page does not exists, it is easy to create it by clicking 'Create this page'. The two last solutions are not very easy to do: either you need to reimplement stuff in the Wiki, or reimplement the Wiki in RGG. These are really two different servers, and it is better to manage them that way, I think.
