Hi Stef,
I created a simple page as an example showing how a repository can be used as a wiki and published with GitHub Pages.
https://xymon-monitoring.github.io/xymon-wiki/ (Feel free to use or extend this repository)
This URL is a normal public website and can be indexed by search engines. However, indexing may take some time and can be improved by submitting the site through a Google account (e.g., via Google Search Console).
In many projects, seems to me that the wiki content can live inside the README.md + "docs|"| folder of the main code repository. However, for the Xymon server repo, the docs directory is already used for the built-in help files, which are typically HTML rather than Markdown, so it may not be the best location for this case.

Hi,
I didn't know that wiki pages on github are skipped by search engines :(
It looks like .md files are indexed however, I will convert the wiki pages I created to md files so at least they are indexed. Later on, the information can be moved if a beter solution for documentation is found.
