Using github to edit is only an option - if you login, you can edit on 
the wiki itself.

There's a separate effort underway to make it more obvious that this is 
what you can (and in most cases likely should) do.

Should you ever want to contribute to the wiki with a PR instead of 
editing the page directly (useful for large changes that you want 
feedback on before they go into effect, for example), you would use your 
github account at github.
