That just isn't the way the wiki in fossil works. Would you really
expect .wiki files **anywhere they might be in the source tree** to
create wiki pages that would all appear at the top (only) level of the
wiki? What should fossil do about name conflicts?

The principle of least astonishment is sounds like a good idea, but it's
often the case that the most obvious (least surprising) behavior at
first glance is actually impossible or undesirable once you think it
through.
