Users can't edit wiki #1922

Describe the bug
Only maintainers can currently edit our wiki, making it almost useless as the point of the wiki is to have documentation that the community can maintain.

Additional context
The reason the wiki is locked down is because there is too much malware being added to GitHub wikis. And GitHub provides absolutely no tools to deal with the issue.

In other words, getting GitHub doesn't seem feasible. We need to look at alternatives.

This could be an option where we can still host things on GitHub:

Hi. Hope you're doing well.

Why not consider solutions like Astro.js and Starlight for documentation? (https://starlight.astro.build/) It can also be deployed to GitHub Pages (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/deploy/github/). Let me know if I can help solve this issue.

That does not seem to be a wiki where users can contribute?

Yes, you're right. It doesn't provide a direct way to collaborate online, and you would need pull requests as a normal project in order to accept documentation contributions. However, I thought about them because you would have better control (related to the malware issues of wikis) over the submissions, and they are still easy to deploy and setup.
