The wiki pages do sync but do not partake in branching/merging - the last
one wins but all historical versions are still there. There is no www UI
for diffing between wiki page versions, but the JSON API is capable of
doing it. Here's an example:

http://fossil.wanderinghorse.net/wikis/cpdo/?page=cpdo

(That's a custom wiki front-end using a fossil backend via the JSON API)

- click on the Timeline tab (near the right)
- click on the version number of one of the wiki page changes.

Because the wiki pages are internally the same thing as files, they could
theoretically be extended to support tagging/branching/etc., but so far
there has never been any motivation to do so.
