I chose the name for the navbar purposefully and I'll tell you the
rationale behind it.

'Wiki' is a technology. The wiki is primarily for contributors. The
wiki's unfriendliness to folks not familiar with Fedora is why we have a
website in the first place, rather than just a wiki.

That being said, I do think having a wiki.fedoraproject.org subdomain to
point to the wiki would make it easier for folks to reach, because then
you'd just type wiki in your url bar and it should autocomplete (if
you're as much a fedora wiki user as I am anyway ;-) )

But the wiki is very much a place for contributors, and the website is
very much a place for users, so I think it makes more sense to label it
based on its practical purpose / meaning rather than the technology used
to drive it.
