I just opened this PR I would like to know if the direction is appreciated.

I was thinking of adding setting nixPath from flakes inputs to the wiki. Should that be done in the Flakes article or in a new article? It's basically only

{ inputs, ... }:
{
  nix.nixPath = [
    "nixpkgs=${inputs.nixpkgs}"
    "home-manager=${inputs.home-manager}"
    "system=${inputs.self}"
  ];
}

This would go along with showing how to add specialArgs = { inherit inputs; }; to a nixosSystem call.

Should I add this at all?

pretty much everything except modules and the options we haven't touched yet use markdown as their primary format and just render to docbook as an intermediate format. some modules do that as well, albeit not automatically

currently waiting for review on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/185474 before we go any further
