This is another reason why it's so unfortunate that wikis have died out. GitHub for its part helped kill them and then salted the earth, too—it's hardly possible to even talk about "wikis" anymore, because it's not clear whether a person is actually referring to a wiki wiki, or "some loose leaf Markdown that exists in a repo somewhere (but it's not necessarily clear where), and that's unlikely to allow direct editing without approval". The latter flies in the face of the very etymology of the word. (To be fair, the same velocity-diminishing forces are at play in the typical practices for using GitHub to collaborate on code, too, but people are even less sensitive to that than they are about wikis.)
