Is there any specific reason to keep the docs in the wiki section? Vs markdown documents right in the wiki itself?
I don’t know sorry :/ I do use a document but only because I want more control over the TOC (Table of content), which is a bit strange in the wiki itself, but that’s just personal taste !
I’m not a Dev so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but what I would do is add a comment in the code to specify the change and link to your documentation file for more details (if needed). That’s probably one of the advantage of having your documentation not in the wiki page.
This would keep your code page clean while having proper documtation in the same repo ! However, I have never seen any project doing it like that (for a good reason probably?).
Here is my codeberg documentation repo about anime encoding in av1. It’s probably not what you’re looking for but maybe this can give you any idea or see if this could fit your workflow?
This is exactly way proprietary stuff sucks !
