Something is wrong with method WebPathToGitPath in file ./services/wiki/wiki_path.go
@bauermarkus if you need access to your files in wiki pages, for now you can create link like this:
For example, if your main branch is named master, files is directory in root
[Link name](/raw/branch/master/files/MyFile.pdf "Test Alt text")

I'm interested in fixing this bug and would like to open a pull request soon.

I managed to reproduce this locally and made a proof-of-concept fix, which, at first glance, seems to work:
Relative links to files which are not registered as renderable by Gitea now feature a raw link instead of a regular wiki link.

Before:

After:

For reference, this is the wiki markdown file I created for testing ( Home.md ):

Welcome to the Wiki.

[Test file](files/test-file.zip "An ordinary test file")

Since it's not by design in previous versions, I think feature is a better label for this issue.
