    I want a better wiki!

    This can be done with https://xenforo.com/community/resources/8wr-xencarta-wiki-pro.1690/

    It allows the wiki to mesh with the theme of the forum and not feel like you're being whisked off to an external site. Not to mention the back end merges with Xenforo's back end so it's very easy to administer (new wiki editors don't require an additional account being created for them that doesn't even have an email password recovery option not that I would know or anything). Look at spigot's wiki, it's pretty nice, right? https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/index/

    PROS:
    - Looks much cleaner.
    - Doesn't require navigation to what's effectively an external site.
    - Uses forum accounts for editors.
    - Still keeps edit logs.
    - URLs aren't terrible

    CONS:
    - I'd need to do a lot of work to move everything over and it would probably take some time.
