I've ran three different wiki packages (TWiki, MediaWiki, and MoinMoin). I actually don't like MediaWiki because it really doesn't allow you to do much in terms of formatting. This is a feature that makes the site easier to manage, but it certainly restricts your freedom. For example, as far as I could tell, images can't function as links. That one was a killer for my application.

TWiki is more or less the opposite in terms of flexibility, but it is necessarily harder to manage and has had significant security issues. It works very well as the wiki software for a work group (with extensions for calenders and task lists (action items)).

MoinMoin is somewhere in between and allows the author to

If it were me, I'd just direct everybody to the appropriate Wikipedia pages and have at 'er. That would get more eyeballs for a lot less work.
