I second the semantic mediawiki plug.  My group still uses mediawiki 
pretty extensively despite having been told that we don't...

We originally built a lightweight project management environment in it.  
We don't make much use of all that semantic power anymore, but even 
though our official documentation is elsewhere, the wiki is still our 
standard repository of shared (especially miscellaneous) knowledge.  I 
guess I would say that even though mediawiki is larger than many wiki 
implementations, it's nevertheless easy to deploy, and can grow 
enormously in complexity if you have the need.
