Ummm, you want the non-white characters including the HTML tags or
excluding them?

What OS?  It may simply be that the OS is having trouble figuring out
what kind of files these are (since they don't have a standard file
extension of any sort).  It shouldn't be a problem.

And for the file permissions, the rw-r--r-- is a bit odd (perhaps they
were copied into wiki.d/ from somewhere else?), but the other two are 
normal depending on how the system has been configured over time.  
None of them should be problematic -- PmWiki knows how to deal with
these when it finds them and correct them as necessary.
