Does GitLab permit Wiki Merge Requests?

I know GitLab stores wiki pages in a separate git repository. Therefore, I'd like to know. How can we create a merge request for the wiki project of my project? Is it possible? I found a similar question about GitHub: How to pull request a wiki page on GitHub?, but nothing about GitLab.

Creating a MR (Merge Request) requires the name of a project, not of its wiki.

The workaround would then be similar to the one described in your linked answer

  • having a dedicated repo "project" being a fork/clone of the wiki
  • making your MR to this wiki project/fork
  • pushing from this fork back to the original wiki repo
