Unclear on how to set up wiki #100

I'm a bit confused by how the wiki documentation works. On cloning, I get https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.wiki.git/ not found errors in the github-wiki-action stage - they seem to suggest that the wiki repo doesn't exist, even though the wiki is enabled on my repository. I don't seem to have any git submodules in my local copy of the repo either, that could be that repository.

The example repo's wiki says it's autogenerated and can't be edited as a wiki. Do I have to create a single page manually to make the repo wiki exist, so that the action will then flatten the contents with a fresh repo generated from the docs/wiki directory?

In that case, is it basically that the repo is a way of doing documentation that's limited-access unlike a Yardang site, and so there's not really any reason to have both? Fair if that's the case, but I sort of assumed the role of the wiki was to be a 'user-editable' documentation site, e.g. so project members who weren't actually developers could write their own documentation. I imagine that'd be accomplished by just removing the wiki from the template, right?
