Now in public preview: Disabling auto provisioning of Wiki with new channel creation

Microsoft

Description 

We're making some changes to Wiki experience in Teams- channels. At present whenever a new private or standard channel is created then a Wiki is automatically provisioned for the channel and added as a tab in channels. 
 

Going forward, we're not going to provision wiki by default when a new private or standard channel is created. Users can add new wikis as tabs in channels as and when needed, there is no impact on existing wikis that are already available.
