Options for Wiki WordPress

I would like to know my options for how best to use WordPress as a wiki. I tried Media Wiki, but the sheer amount of changes I need to make to code to make even trivial changes turned me off. Way off.

Googling doesn't reveal much. What are the best options for using WP as a wiki? (This can be a community question discussing various options.)

In particular, I would like something that addresses:

Links to non-existing pages actually link to a "create new page" page
Editing pages without going through /wp-admin/ (i.e. the back-end)
Searching/listing existing pages when linking (i.e. linking by title, not by URL)

What are my options?

There area few plugins that extend wiki-functionality to WordPress.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-wiki-plugin/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-wiki/ (not the same as the above plugin)
There's some interesting notes on wiki-vs-wordpress @ http://tiki.org/Tiki+vs+WordPress

NOTE: I have not used any of the above plugins, so Your Mileage May Vary.

I'm a big fan of wiki-as-concept for ease-of-use, and use PmWiki to power the main interface to my own site. I also like WordPress (obviously) for different reasons, and miss the PmWiki features when I'm inside of wp-admin [I'm actually developing a plugin to use my wiki as a markup engine inside of WP, but that doesn't give access to the features you're probably looking for, like revision history, links-create-new-pages, etc.]. There are actually some blog-extensions for PmWiki, but none of them match the power of WordPress.

So, that being said -- I may seem to be advocating "use the right tool for the right job", as well.

But in some cases, the right tool might be a plugin that gives you just the wiki-features you need inside of WordPress.

First of all, WordPress is not a wiki. Wikis are a fundamentally different form of content management system (where anyone can manage information). WordPress is meant to publish content, wikis are meant to collaboratively develop content.

Case-in-point, the WordPress project uses a wiki for Codex documents ... but it runs MediaWiki rather than WordPress itself to do so.

That said, you certainly can use WordPress to power a wiki ... it just won't be easy.

Poking around on Google, I did manage to find these options for you:

WordPress Wiki theme (linked to by Viruthaigiri)
Wiki plugin by WPMU.org (there is a paid version on their site with a deeper feature set).
