Github Wiki has no collaborative tools/ no pull requests

[rektide]

One can fork a wiki, but there's no collaborative tools (no github, no github workflow) for handling updates to the wiki. If one wants to contribute to a wiki, they have to sneakernet git commits around. It's not possible to issue a pull request with updates. People are left orchestrating and coordinating person-to-person, filing issues and linking commits or branches and asking, hey, please merge this. This is cumbersome and it'd be pleasant to make updating wikis a more regularized, normal git process.

👍 It seems strange that there's no default way to file PRs for wikis.

I'd like to see more love towards GitHub wikis. In my opinion, they are solving an important problem: they provide an opinionated tool to write docs without caring about style, setting up web hooks and fiddling with a blog framework.

I just want to write docs.

Gaps like this keeps me away from using github wikis.

Instead, my wikis are typically a normal repo, with the README.md as the index.
