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.
