Thank you for your view, I guess Roam also adheres to the Zettelkasten way and that's why there is much more focus on the interlinking of nodes ?
It seems to me the difference lies more in the wiki software. I was asking the initial question because there are wiki engines with a lot of features, and what you are doing for Zettelkasten can be done in them as well: take for example tiddlywiki (https://tiddlywiki.com/ https://tiddlywiki.com/) which organizes nodes in "tiddlers" instead of full-blown articles or pages. You can link to another "tiddler", or you can even include it so its content can be reused elsewhere without having to "click". So it seems to me those new systems are more revealing of todays' wiki engines' limitations than completely new paradigms.
Another difference I just realized: wikis are expected to be read and modified by multiple people, while Roam and Zettelkasten systems are expected to be used by one person only. While not written in stone, I feel like this has an impact on the way content is structured.
