I have installed the wiki and it chooses the default page view with the sidebar to display its content. Can I change that preference somewhere in the plugin so it uses a full width page from the template?

Can you tell me which theme you are using? You should be able to copy the page template you wish to use from your theme and rename it page-wiki.php and that should take hold of the wiki pages.
We are basing the site on the BP-Magazine theme. So, to follow your advice I duplicated the template-fullwidth.php page to page-wiki.php and ... nothing...
Ok, did another search with other terms and in a moment of browsing the forums I found my answer. The page needs to be called incsub_wiki.php and then it works. So, I have done that and now it is up to sorting out some CSS and the wiki is on its merry way. :-)
I'm also having the same issue: I'd like to be able to define a page I can place the wiki in so I can customize it accordingly. One workaround (the one I've done) is simply to use the "page.php" file from my theme (calls as the default template, the one the wiki is using) and to create other templates for all other pages. My build was small enough to start, so it was easy enough.
The problem I have now: since the wiki doesn't run on a wordpress "page" i can't modify the page wiki displays on from the wordpress backend. The title of the wiki gets called by a feature header in my template, so I don't have a title for each wiki, only the breadcrumbs. And I don't want a feature header on my other pages. If i could edit the wiki page as a page, I could change this simply enough (without getting into the php). Any thoughts?
Just checking if it was eventually resolved in another thread? Or by yourself separately to us? Or by us over email with you? Or using our live support?
If so, no need to reply, that's great news.
If not, could you let us know by re-opening this topic, and we'll get onto it and helping you out asap!

Hiya!

Spoken too soon. The template works, but it also strips the Wiki of its wiki menu and wiki functionality. Back to square one then.

I've asked the developer to chip in here and provide some guidance on the correct way to theme the plugin output.

Hi KRsholl,
Just checking if it was eventually resolved in another thread? Or by yourself separately to us? Or by us over email with you? Or using our live support?

Otherwise, happy days, glad you got it sorted :)
Cheers, James
