I installed a test MediaWiki last week, and I've been using it the last couple of days to take notes during an inservice.

I really, really like the auto-generated table of contents you get when you structure your document using the heading markup:

==Level 2 Heading==

===Level 3 Heading===

(The page title automatically gets Level 1 heading)

I find the way it handles multiple submissions to the same page very interesting, too; you can always edit the entire content of a page, but each major content section (as delineated by heading, I think) receives its own [edit] link - and when you use those links, only that section's content is put into the edit form. Not terribly useful when the content of the page is likely to change a lot, but for future management it will be great to drop into a discrete chunk of content without having to scroll through a mess of wiki text.
