Another major caveat is that git repositories and wikis have a
different "home page". In repositories, the `README.*` or `index.*`
files get rendered in any directory (including the frontpage). But in
the wiki, it's the `home.md` page and [it is not possible to change
this](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/19842). It's also [not possible to change the landing page on
repositories either](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/20754), a compromise would be to [preview the wiki
home page correctly in repositories](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/432344).
