The verdict
GitHub Wikis are for developers. Nectory is for everyone.
GitHub Wikis are fine for READMEs and developer references. For game creators who want players, server admins, and community contributors to write and read docs — without touching git or Markdown — Nectory is a much better fit.

Bottom line
If your audience includes anyone who isn't a developer, GitHub Wiki will feel like a chore for them to read and impossible to contribute to. Nectory makes documentation accessible to your whole team and community.
