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?

A pull request would edit a page, I think.

But that doesn't make it a wiki.

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

What.. a "wiki" that isn't shared? (I can see it could be made to have server component, I like the idea of doing all rendering on client-side, why not?!) The rendering is unfortunately glitchy (FF30; sometimes the CSS seems to drop during load/link clicks) and the stack of various libraries used is so deep that it may well be difficult to find the cause? Sorry, that's presumptuous actually, but I sometimes wonder why small projects like this need this many libs:

    marked
    jQuery
    Bootstrap
    Bootswatch
    colorbox
    highlightjs

TiddlyWiki, the original self-contained wiki (and now nearly 10 years old), was (is?) often used for note-taking. All you need is a browser, point it at a file:/// URI and you could save your changes locally.
