Please always try to find cross-references we could use.

Here at the very least the wic dedicated page /dev-manual/wic or 
possibly rather the WKS /ref-manual/kickstart.rst since I'm assuming 
it's what we store there?

The wording is a bit odd to me too, it could be understood as wic files 
being a representation of image we generate but it's actually the 
opposite! wic files are used to generate image binaries!

Cheers,
Quentin
