Reading these wikis makes me feel we need to invent some visual convention to indicate AI-generated text. Like a particular color or font. This would make it so people don't feel cheated after they realize they just spent several minutes trying to make sense of something churned out by an LLM. (I mean this as a voluntary design enhancement for sites that want to be nice, of course people can always cheat.)

#92In the meantime, I have a different bit of feedback: the categories don't make much sense to me. I can't find a consistent theme in "Tooling", Bun isn't really a frontend library (although it has frontend components like a bundler), I don't know much about Urbit but it doesn't look like it belongs in "Crypto" (just a P2P network with a crypto-adjacent userbase), iptv-org/iptv doesn't seem to make sense in Education, etc.
Also, a number of the links in the Bun page (the ones not in monospace) are 404s. I don't see those types of links on other pages so maybe a bug that was fixed but not backported?
Edit: It'd also be nice if the search bar could just search for repo name instead of having to remember the associated GH user

I would expect something like this to output only factually correct documentation since it would be used as reference; but it sounds like even under the upcoming v2 that's not the case?
Autogenerating documentation that could then be corrected by a human could still have value, in fairness

#95That’s nice but the name is confusing: it’s not generating a wiki at all, but a documentation website with a Wikipedia-like theme. Wikis are collaborative websites; Wikipedia is only one of them.

A wiki is a wiki wiki (quick, fast) web. It's defining characteristic is quickly and easily user-editable. Your current product isn't a wiki generator, it's a website generator. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki
Great point! It's a website generator in the style of wikis that could become a wiki in the future if we add the ability to edit it.
