How do I edit the wiki?

[RealNath]

I'd like to add more information to the wiki since it's missing a lot of stuff. It said that everyone is welcome to edit the wiki, but I can't seem to find the option to edit it. I tried to clone the wiki (FModel.wiki.git), then push the edit but it said I don't have access. I thought I'm supposed to make a fork and create a PR, but the repo seems to be a fork of the FModel repo but with only a bunch of MD files and nothing else, which I thought isn't supposed to be how it works since this repo doesn't have the wiki markdown files themselves.

What you are seeing is the expected GitHub Wiki permission model, not a problem with your clone.

A GitHub Wiki is stored as a separate Git repository at https://github.com/4sval/FModel.wiki.git. It is not a branch or folder of 4sval/FModel, and GitHub does not provide the normal fork → pull-request workflow for the .wiki.git repository. That explains both observations:

• cloning works because the wiki is publicly readable;
• pushing fails because you do not currently have wiki write permission.

For public repositories, GitHub says wiki editing is restricted to repository collaborators by default. A repository administrator can allow all signed-in GitHub users by going to Settings → General → Features → Wikis and clearing “Restrict editing to collaborators only”: GitHub's access-permissions documentation.

So the available paths are:

1. Ask a FModel maintainer to enable public wiki editing. After that, the web UI will show Edit/New Page, and pushing to FModel.wiki.git should be authorized.
2. Ask to be added as a repository collaborator.
3. If the maintainers want review before publication, prepare the Markdown locally and attach/paste the patch in a Discussion (or put the proposed pages in a normal fork/repository). A maintainer can then apply it to the wiki. There is no native wiki PR to open.

The repository you found containing only Markdown is therefore not evidence that the wiki lives in the main FModel source tree; it is likely a manually created mirror/copy. The canonical GitHub Wiki content remains the separate FModel.wiki.git repository.
