gatsby-node.js

See gatsby-transformer-remark for a complete example illustrating how to render a page component from the wiki data. All of your content is transformed to HTML in allMarkdownRemark.

  allRedditWikiPage {
    nodes {

      path
      content_md
      revision_by {
        name
      }
    }
  }
}

Only fetch pages most recently updated by moderators:

{
  allRedditWikiPage(filter: { revision_by: { is_mod: { eq: true } } }) {
    nodes {
      id
      path
