I used to have a public GitHub repo with a wiki section filled with my project content.

Then I turned the repo from public to private.

Since there I do not have a Premium GitHub account, I cannot have a GitHub repo with a private wiki.

But what happened to the wiki I had when the repo was public?

I've read through docs at:

• https://docs.github.com/en/github-ae@latest/communities/documenting-your-project-with-wikis/changing-access-permissions-for-wikis
• https://docs.github.com/en/communities/documenting-your-project-with-wikis/about-wikis

Since you do not have a Premium GitHub account, you would not have the option to make a private repository with a wiki. In this case, it is likely that the wiki associated with the repository is not accessible when you changed the repository from public to private, what happens if you change the samething back to public, do you see the wiki again? if so then its by design, as soon as you turn private you dont have access unless you upgrade to premium I think

When you turn a repository on GitHub to private, it means that the repository is no longer publicly accessible, and only users who have been granted permission to access the repository can view and contribute to it. This includes any wiki pages associated with the repository. If you have turned your repository to private, any wiki pages that were previously associated with it will no longer be publicly accessible and can only be accessed by users with permission to view the repository.
