How to access the raw markdown source for a github wiki page

gistfile1.txt

https://raw.github.com/wiki/user/repo/page.md?login=login&token=token

very nice

Adding '.md' at the end of the wiki-URL redirects to the raw page, as a potentially simpler solution.

Or check the commit history, and copy the right-most panel.

https://raw.github.com/wiki/user/repo/page.md?login=login&token=token

These URLs now redirect to a new domain… https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/user/repo/page.md

What token should be used in this context?

• The tokens that are appending to URLs automatically when adding .md to a wiki page to see the raw content seem to expire after a few days and do not need the login query parameter.

• Personal access tokens do not seem to work in this context either...

So what token needs to be used to get this to work? Thanks!

If you don't have edit access this translation worked for me:
https://github.com/org/repo/wiki/page -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/org/repo/page.md
Example:
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go/wiki/Building,-Debugging-and-Sideloading-the-extension-in-Visual-Studio-Code -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/Microsoft/vscode-go/Building%2C-Debugging-and-Sideloading-the-extension-in-Visual-Studio-Code.md

Just want to mention that this doesn't always work, especially if the Wiki is managed via Git and the actual source documents are at a different heirarchy.

None of the solutions in these comments seem to work without edit access at the time of this comment

@Kiuhrly

Still seems to work

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/Microsoft/vscode-go/Features-for-Go-in-VS-Code.md

It's just linknum23's example is from a page that has since been moved/deleted as vscode-go themselves have migrated off GitHub Wikis (maybe due to documentation, indexing, or spam situation that I wrote/addressed/working around in https://github-wiki-see.page)

Looks like I was doing it wrong when I tried to manually edit a URL. Oops. Here's a wiki link and a correct raw file link for future reference and comparison:

https://github.com/mattmikolay/chip-8/wiki/CHIP%E2%80%908-Technical-Reference
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/mattmikolay/chip-8/CHIP%E2%80%908-Technical-Reference.md

For anyone else getting 404s, note the missing /wiki after the repository name, the added /wiki at the start, and .md added at the end.

not sure if this helps, but you can clone the wiki

git clone git@github.com:organisation/repo.wiki.git

all wiki pages are in markdown files
