To get wise to doing smth

Tell me, please, is it correct to say like this "they got wise to suppressing others' will"? I've never heard "to get wise to doing smth" before.

I wouldn't use it. I've come across "get wise to something" but not "get wise to doing".

I agree with bhai. Here's how I would use the phrase:

'I have got wise to the troll and her different usernames'.

It means 'I have seen through her deception'.
