GitHub and GitLab have a wiki feature that is a sort of crappy wiki with no merge requests.

The problem is that wikis can’t be globally editable without license events so in order to edit the wiki you need permissions on the project.

The PR flow is for the non-wiki where there’s just files in a repo that only active project users can edit but anyone can fork and PR.

So it’s a lot easier administratively than trying to grant everyone edit permissions on a repo just to edit a wiki.

If there was a decent wiki product I would love to run it and just have every staff member with edit permissions. But that’s the dilemma.

Like Mediawiki.
