I agree with providing another pathway. More specifically, I am
against moving entirely away from the current way of editing the wiki.

Going for the git environment has its own merits as already mentioned,
but at the same time it would deter some people. Not everyone is
particularly fond of (or familiar with) git. I would not be surprised
if some of the existing wiki authors stop contributing if the direct
edit is no longer an option.
