Footnotes don't work in Wiki
I copied the example from https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#footnotes to wiki page but it does not render.
However it does work in issues as below.
Here is a simple footnote[^1].
A footnote can also have multiple lines[^2].
[^1]: My reference. [^2]: To add line breaks within a footnote, prefix new lines with 2 spaces. This is a second line.
This is a long-standing problem with using GH-flavored Markdown in wikis.
Is there a possible future fix to bring wiki Markdown in line for features with something like README.md?
https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#footnotes:
My context: I'm working on an open source programming book using GitHub wiki pages for chapters, and would like to provide footnotes. A published version of the book would have footnotes, and I'd like the wiki pages readable by anyone to reflect this.

@mwisnicki Have you heard any progress from GitHub on this outside this issue?

@GitHub-Actions, I'm solely subscribed to issue closure and reopening. How do you expect those subscribed like I am to constantly check issues for "stale messages"?!
