WIKI: Support "home.md" for folders
Description
Now that there's folder support, there's no option to access the "folder" itself
Example Structre
home.md
folder/
folder/home.md
folder/page.mdhome.md is the main page shown when I access the WIKI.
When I access folder/page.md I see this breadcrumb:
folder/pageBut folder isn't clickable and it doesn't lead anywhere anyway.
Proposal
I suggest the wikis/folder URL will redirect to wikis/folder/home.md, and that the "folder" in the breadcrumb be clickable and lead there.

@erezsegal Do you mean a view to index the pages contained within the wiki's directory?
Nope, though that's another good feature request.
I'm simply referring to a sub folders homepage. So if a sub folder in the wiki is about a topic, than home.md will be any custom welcome page to that sub-topic.
The same way in websites, every folder can have "index.html" which is the page served when a folder's URL is typed in.
So to view
folder/home.mdI can accessfolder/homewiki page, orfolder/wiki page.added to epic &204

removed navigation label
@cdybenko It be great to have something like "<<Navigation("My TOC", "subdir", true)>>" (already in Gollum) too, either automatically or as a macro.

Ran into this almost instantly when organizing our wiki. You can define a
folder.mdandfolder/page.mdbut then the sidebar in 13.7.3 renders the tree and the document separately, when you'd expect thefolderitem in the tree to just be clickable. See screenshot of "View Pages" section of the gitlab wiki for an example:
Same here. I expected the folder to be clickable, instead of rendering two items in the menu, which was confusing. Especially since the folder are in black text and the pages are in grey text, which I cannot really distinguish immediately - so I'd often click the folder name instead of the page that has the same name as the folder (which is intended to be the folder's home/index page).
