Body

Wikilinks are a great way of linking other pages to pages. Recently I have been making a wiki about tech using obsidian and put it on github so other people can add to it.
https://github.com/Obsidian-tech-wiki/obsidian_tech_wik

If you have a look at some of the pages in there wiki folder you will see that all the pages have links like [[this]].
It would be great if when you click on it github will take you to that page or show a darker blue if it doesn't exist in the repo.

There are many modules that allows you to turn wikilinks into html like this: https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/wikilinks/

I think the best thing you can do is to install an obsidian plugin to convert wikilinks to normal GitHub links, such as Wikilinks to MDLinks.

Hope this helps!

This is still a good idea. Makes for much cleaner and flexible approach to documentation references

I think it would be great to support Wikilinks. Markdown plugin for VSCode supports it, Obsidian supports it... so I would assume Github should too.

I agree, this feature would be very useful. It would make things easier to organize and edit.

Yes, I agree also. It would be great to see support for wikilinks, as they are much simpler to use. It would also mean content authored in other markdown tools, obsidian, vscode, would render in github.
