<p>Yes, I understand the motivation and agree with all you say. I’m just sounding a note of caution that I found the Bitbucket wiki frustrating to use (many years ago). We probably would be willing to accept a loss of functionality to gain the benefits you cite, but not if it’s really painful to use.</p>
<p>I only used it for a small project. I seem to remember problems such as filenames which couldn’t be entered, requiring me to manually edit the wiki repo (the web editor was doing some sort of nonintuitive transformation on the filenames). I was using Creole as the markup language, not markdown.

<p>In some cases, you can use a Bitbucket macro or the Bitbucket markup to do the same thing. The Bitbucket markup works in all languages; The Bitbucket macros work only with Creole markup.</p>

<p>I found it hard (I think impossible) to generate a site map to get an idea of what pages were present in the wiki. In fact, after creating a page, and navigating awa
