Allow visitors to create a suggested edit on the Wiki

Problem to solve
Currently, if a visitor to a project views the Wiki and notices an issue or wants to change something because they know of a better way, they have to separately open an issue in the project and essentially copy and paste their suggestion.
This would allow visitors to suggest an edit and essentially create a merge-request for the wiki.
Intended users
- Visitors to the project with suggestions to make on wiki pages.
- Project maintainers, less work for them.
Further details
This would make the wiki much more useful and more true to form. A wiki is supposed to be editable by all, not just those that run the project.
Proposal
Add a button to each page called suggest an edit which the user can click and enter a standard edit field.
Permissions and Security
Depending on the project's settings, anyone should be able to access this button. They're only making a suggestion, after all.
It should be toggle-able, for instance if the project owner doesn't want suggestions.
