Title says it all. Unless I'm missing something, I don't see a way to do anything wiki related at the subs I've created.

I'm wondering if that would be too niche or something which should be its own project, and those in need of a suitable solution would be better deploying a dedicated service.

I mean, for example lemmy has PMs, but if there's a notice to move to a dedicated messaging service for more privacy and functionality.

So, for a "wiki" the sidebar usually is enough to have the rules and links to sites with more information and a better structure.

Experienced mods moving from Reddit to Lemmy would expect support for integrated wiki pages since it's been a basic feature for so long. They use them for creating directories, tutorials, and all kinds of resources. My sense is that making wikis a separate project on the Fediverse would be too clunky, although I admit it's an interesting idea.

EDIT: They can also be used for bot configs just like AutoMod, which is a separate feature request in itself.
