It's a human-readable text format, so I'd advocate for text/x-wiki. I don't know where or how the application/x-wiki came about.

Hi all!
I just noticed that MediaWiki uses two different mime types for wikitext:
* application/x-wiki is used by AjaxResponse, OutputPage and StreamFile.
* text/x-wiki is used by RawAction.php (i.e. when you use action=raw)
Is there a good reason for this, or is it just an oversight? I suggest to use
the same mime type everywhere, and keep the old one for compatibility reasons -
i.e. we should use application/x-wiki consistently, and RawAction could support
text/x-wiki as an alias.
That being said... the *correct* mime type would imho be
application/x-mediawiki. But i don't insist on it :)
