If I fork repository joe/foo, and it has a Wiki, I won't get the wiki. Right now I'm just interested in forking the wiki to add pages to it.
Is that possible without forking the repository?
If not, is it possible at all?

Wikis are available in public repositories with GitHub Free and GitHub Free for organizations, and in public and private repositories with GitHub Pro, GitHub Team, GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Enterprise Server.
The Wiki pages are managed as a repository. So click on your repository, then on the left side click on Wiki. Finally on the upper right corner click on Clone Repository. There you will clear instructions on how to clone it correctly.
The TOS states you agree to allow viewing and forking. It doesn't state that you agree to allow redistribution or use. If the terms don't explicitly state that you allow those things, then unless your license allows them they aren't allowed.
Adding wiki pagesUnder your repository name, click Wiki. In the upper-right corner of the page, click New Page. Optionally, to write in a format other than Markdown, use the Edit mode drop-down menu, and click a different format. Use the text editor to add your page's content.
You can't fork it directly on GitHub, but you can get Git access to it by going into the Git access tab of the wiki and you should be able to fork it on your local machine and edit it as much as you want (and even get updates to it!)
