Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/1373

The Wiki tab (https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/wiki) does not currently hold any useful information, instead it seems to be home to spam messages/edits, since it also seems to be publicly editable.

Please disable the wiki from the repo's settings. See https://docs.github.com/en/communities/documenting-your-project-with-wikis/disabling-wikis.

Thank you! GitHub's default behavior to enable wikis and make them writable by everyone (seemingly without notice to the project maintainer?) seems wrong to me.

Couldn't agree more—forcefully and/or silently turning on any features will probably not make me enjoy them.
