would make it an extension of the Amateur Radio SIG wiki, and I've got an
incomplete version created:

How can a wiki not have some kind of <code> tag?
Use {{code|}}, <pre>, or just add any number of spaces before each line
of the code segment (even one space works).
Most other systems in Fedora support markdown, and I would be a fan
of
that.
wikitext predates markdown by several years. mediawiki first appeared
in 2001 and wikitext developed along with it, Markdown was invented in
2004. wikitext is quirky because of its age, development history, and
the fact that it's actually more than just markup, it has quite
extensive dynamic capabilities (particularly with extensions like
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions , which we
have in our instance).
If what you're writing falls under the general heading of
'documentation', you might want to write it for
docs.fedoraproject.org
rather than the wiki. docs.fp.o is built by a static generator and uses
the ASCIIDoc markup language. See
