A better label should have been

semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t '/etc/dokuwiki(/.*?)'

This would allow apache processes to write to any file/directory under
/etc/dokuwiki.

I would argue this is might be a bad design of dokuwiki, applictions
should not be writing their config files.
If these are not config files, they should be in /var/lib/dokuwiki.
