There have been problems with some people spamming the wiki. The problem was so persistent that we had to lock the wiki for the moment. We are currently exploring other options, most prominently MediaWiki - the Wiki developed for Wikipedia which you can download there for free.

For some background on the choices see Harry Fuecks's excellent blog at http://www.sitepoint.com/blog-post-view.php?id=201603

Thanks, i'm going to set up a wiki as a kind of experiment to see how it goes and assuming all goes well watch it grow.

After reading the article the main point seems to be database backed or not? As you guys will end up with a large one here do you prefer to use a database or file backed system?

The wiki will be based around everquest 2 for which i'm running a server forum, i'd like to allow anyone to post on the wiki, though moderation is going to be a problem.
