The term Wiki means different things to different people. To some, it's all about the syntax of how you enter data. In drupal, that' called in input filter. I saw a Wiki Filter module on the developer mailing list called pearwiki. I'm not sure what its status is right now.
To some (me included), it's a collection of publically editable posts, perhaps with some versioning info. For this, you could just enable edit permissions for registered users on some content type (Book page, or Page for example). You might also want to edit that content type and have it create a new version for each edit.
To some, it's all about being able to create a new page, just by linking to it from an existing page. For that, there's the freelinking module.
The cool (and frustrating) thing about Drupal is, you can implement any or all of these things for your wiki.
I'm using liquid wiki on my site. You can set up revisions for any content type not just wiki. You can set anonymous users to have permission to edit content. The liquid wiki module also gives extra permissions, wiki filter, automatic url aliases, etc.
I've updated liquid wiki to work with Drupal 5.0 through a patch. I have it working on my site at work http://tech.aph.org/mm.
My other site listed below is using liquid wiki also, but I haven't updated it to 5.0.
Cool that you updated it, do you have the module so we can give it a try, or have you submitted a patch.
I realized after I asked my question that you can allow user's to edit content types in the standard settings of nodes. Are there any big benefits to using liquid wiki instead of the core? Thanks for your tips.
You get the extra permissions, which are good so that you can lock wikis that are open to everyone from editing. This can be done on a per page basis. You also get wiki redirects. So if you have 'Example Wiki' and you move it to 'Example Wiki 2', then 'Example Wiki' will redirect automatically to 'Example Wiki 2'. I also want to do some more work on the module to fix some bugs and add some more features.
I'm using it on my site below and it is working out pretty well. It is very quick to edit and work on pages. There are a couple issues I would like to change, such as wikipages aren't inserted into the wiki by default, you have to choose that option, the default filter type isn't wiki filter and some other issues like that.

I don't believe there is a wiki module for Drupal. at least a publicly released one.
What do you mean when you say "Wiki"

Wiki
I think they are looking for freelinking + easy links within text. In other words, some easy format for creating a link within the text.

pretty sure thats what
pretty sure thats what pearwiki does ? gives you added tags, if im reading it correctly.
Any user can edit
But what about a wiki where any user can edit the content and revisions are tracked? Is this possible with existing modules or even drupal core?

Sorry here is the patch
I forgot to post the patch URL:

compare revisions
I tried your wiki today. Thanks for the access.
I noticed the 'revisions' feature for one page, but does liquid have a "compare" revisions feature? I didn't see this feature.
