If your goal is to value the immersion of other players, then framing the wiki in such a manner that it's as much a surprise to others OOC as it is IC is a good bet. In that case you'd make the wiki about publicly known information related to the character's false identity and not much else.
The downside of this is that it could be logistically difficult to keep track of the two sides of the character's identity; say, for example, that the relationships section reflects the character's public opinion of somebody, while you keep track of his actual opinion in private. That can be a bit of a headache, but it could work.
I am also legally required to advise you that some players who see playing secret Garleans as [insert pejorative here] will probably get annoyed if they find out they've been playing with a secret Garlean all along and didn't have fair warning. That's the price of valuing immersion, I say, but there it is.
On the other hand, if you want to value collaborating with other players and setting up story ideas, you can be open about the Garlean backstory in the wiki - perhaps including the "secret" stuff behind a spoiler tag for modesty's sake - and include an OOC section in which you discuss possible points of connection between your Garlean and others. "Here's how you might reasonably know the character's public identity, and here's how you might know their private identity." People won't be surprised by the reveal, but they'll be approaching you with plot ideas of their own. Either route is feasible, and which is preferably only depends on your goals as a player.
