Any user can edit the wiki section

Describe the bug I'm not sure if this is an intended behavior or not but last week I noticed that I have the permissions to edit the wiki entries with no restrictions.

To reproduce Try to edit the wiki as user without write permissions to the repo

Expected behaviour There should be a way to suggest changes to the wiki without modifying the and only when user that maintains this repo could approve once he verified it.

Actual behaviour I (a random github user) shouldn't be able to edit your wiki

System All systems

Additional context Perhaps I misunderstand your maintain model of the wiki, but last week when I wanted to add some details to the wiki I was shocked to see that I can simply edit, after that I expected that my edit will be reverted in a couple of hours/days, but until now its there. I dont think my contribution is bad Im just shocked there was no some kind of review process before other people saw my edit when they searched for official info about the mailbox property interface (see last revision (number 100) is made by me - https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/wiki/Mailbox-property-interface)

I actually have some more details Id like to add so Ill be happy to hear what is the proffered way to suggest those changes.

Also the link in the footer that welcomes to contribute to the wiki is dead and points to 404.

Edit:

Since I received no response in the last 3 weeks I added another detail I discovered that was not documented.
