The GitHub wiki is an anti-pattern

Wikis provide limited branding opportunities. They all look pretty much the same
As a docs reader, I'm not sure I'd call that a disadvantage, I agree with the other points though
have you heard of fossil ? another distributed versioning system which can im/export from/to git and has integrated:
oh and the special thing about the wiki there is: you can point it to a folder in the project and version your wiki with the same system as your code
Versioning the documentation along with code is a really big thing. It is quite often that I look at a project's guthub wiki, and parts of it are woefully outdated
