Wikis are editable live, usually by anybody; but I cannot see a way to edit any of these projects that use MDwiki. So if that is the case, this isn't a wiki project, and why is it called one?

Seems they're using "wiki" and "knowledge base" interchangeably.

A pull request would edit a page, I think.

But that doesn't make it a wiki.

Au contraire, I think GitHub's editing features are actually close enough to make a wiki.

Though... you might as well just use GitHub's Wiki...
