@robin We already have the build docs function of CI/CD It needs documentation, and I did say I was going to look into it, but I have not found the time because of personal work which I have had to do. @cooperspencer I am against this, as it would be too centralised, the current undocumented feature is more than useful, being able to pick any documentation server you like, whether it is mkdocs or docusaurus, and then a CI/CD task to deploy them to a wiki endpoint is far more powerful than having a dedicated wiki tab.
