If the contributor instructions for your wiki requires:
1. forking the repo
2. committing the changes
3. submitting a pull request
... then you don't have a wiki.

I find this really annoying too. A wiki is not a knowledge base. For some reason people into LLM's seem to have decided to call things wikis, I am guessing because they want the credibility wikis have.
I've been thinking about something in this space, actually... it feels like this is much more a UX/social problem -- in that a wiki can very much be modeled as a repo with a very permissive auto-merge bot (e.g. if PR only touches unprotected pages and user is registered, allow merge)

It's not merely "like" that. That's what it is.
"Wiki" comes from the Hawaiian work for "quick". You spot an error, you click the button to change it, and the change is made. That's wiki.
"Open a pull request and get it approved" is not wiki. It's what the default collaboration model was before wikis and exactly why the wiki was invented (to replace it).
