I've seen a few of this type of thing pop up in search results ("DeepWiki" by Cognition.) I'm not a fan. It is just LLM contentslop, basically. Actual wikis written by humans are made of actual insight from developers and consumers. "We intend you use it in X way", "If you encounter Y issue, do Z." etc. Look at arch wiki. Peak wiki-style documentation, LLMs could never recreate. Well, maybe with a future iteration of the technology they can be useful. But for now, you do not gain much by essentially restating code, API interfaces, and tests in prose. They take up space from legitimate documentation and developer instruction in search results.

True. Arch Wiki is one of the best documentation system I have ever seen, which is also why I always choose Arch-derived OSes.
