How do I rewrite files, but only, if they are in one special folder?

Depending on what else is in your config, it may be useful to put the
second rewrite within a "location ^~ /wiki/ {}" block.

But if you don't measure a difference when putting it there, in a
"location ~ \.php5 {}" block, or at server{] level, then it does not
matter in your deployment.
