It forces somebody to use Github, know how to use git, and takes them away from the CodeIgniter website. I have a Github account and use git daily, but it's obvious that many people decided not to move their wiki entry to Github, and so the wiki has almost no content. Sure, keep the wiki there for archival purposes (which is something that Ellislab didn't do), but I say bring back the old wiki, revise it, or do whatever it takes.

Surely many people will want to use git for their wiki entry's repository, but allowing us to have a wiki page here on the CodeIgniter website would be beneficial. Some may prefer bitbucket, Google Code, mercurial, self hosted, etc, etc.

You don't need to know how to use git to use the wiki (or even a significant amount of Github's functionality), and Github has been the best place to keep track of what's going on in CI's development for several years. No matter where a wiki is hosted, you can still choose to host your own project(s) wherever you wish.

Are you actually familiar with the old wiki? If you are, and you compare it to the new wiki, I think you'd have to be honest and say that the new wiki is super weak.
