I have been experimenting with a few wikis for my site. A great place to look for your wiki needs is the Wiki Engines page on the WikiWik (which incidentally was the first wiki). I have settled for Pmwiki, which you can see here. My reasons for choosing the Pmwiki are
- Written in PHP and released under GPL
- Does not need a database backend to run
- Easy to understand documentation
- Customizations are in a separate configuration file
- InterMap capabilities to provide links to other WikiWikiWeb systems
- Ability to organize pages into WikiGroups, with headers and access controls shared among all pages in the group

The wiki uses files (rather than a database as quite a few wikis do) to store its pages. I might have been updating some pages while you were reading it.
