difference between github gist and wiki

What is the difference between a GitHub gist and GitHub wiki page?

I have steps that I want to share with the GitHub community so they can modify their profile settings. But unsure which one to use

Gist is an independent service with some really nice metadata including when it was last active and versioning, just like GitHub proper. Wikis don't check into git as a version control system.
