Probably because they provide their own separate tool for wikis.

I'm not trying to start a troll on anything, but I'm a bit fed up by the 
whole hype "all-dynamic-web" tendancy in the IT nowadays. Not everything 
must be done dynamically, and there is no need of state-of-the-art 
over-expensive servers to run a simple static content with automated 
processing upon update. ;)

If one can provide us with a free VPS, it would be the best solution 
without any doubt.

I was gonna suggest markdown.tk, but it's taken too... maybe mdwn.tk ? 
Or, this site <http://www.1x.net/> has several second level TLDs 
available for free... ' Carful though, some of them are "premium" 
(charged), like markdown.co.de.

Also, the eu.org second level tld is free and easily available (but it 
takes quite some time to get a domain, from my own experience) but they 
don't provide DNS servers (they could be set up on the VPS though).

Oh and about .tk, it's WAY better to have a website running BEFORE 
asking dot.tk for a domain, since they check very quickly if everything 
is in order; and if not, the website is taken down without prior notice 
(you get a mail AFTER it's done).
