Description
Reddit allow subreddits to have a wiki in addition to the submission feed. These can't be easily accessed on Red Reader, unless the sidebar, a post or comment contain an explicit link to a wiki page.
As of now, following a link to a subreddit's wiki opens the link in the internal browser:
For reference, the /api/info returns a wiki_enabled value when a t5 (subreddit) object is passed as a param. There are also multiple wiki-specific API endpoints, of which [/r/subreddit]/wiki/page and possibly [/r/subreddit]/wiki/pages are useful for reading wiki pages.
A possible approach would be to add a "Wiki" menu item for subreddits where wiki_enabled==true, linking to the subreddit's wiki index, to be opened in an HtmlViewActivity.

Research direction
Start by tracing subreddit menu construction and the existing HtmlViewActivity, then inspect how subreddit objects from /api/info expose wiki_enabled. Review Reddit's wiki page and wiki pages endpoints to determine the index request. Done means wiki-enabled subreddits offer a Wiki menu item that opens the subreddit wiki rather than the internal browser's current link behavior.
