Ive been trying a few things with a local drupal and was trying to do some wiki like module. The wiki module for drupal 4.6 can do wiki like syntax and wiki links, but doesn't define a wiki node type. It makes sence to have a custom node type for registered users, though a page module could do this. It is possible to make a wikinode content type using a custom module. You can also link /wiki/nodetitle to wiki node and the noad_load/ show to render it instead of /node/$nid. It may be possible to link a custom revision/ wiki to the drupal node system and have drupal doing the filtering and user access. Drupal doesnt seem to have anything that seems to match the wiki like functionality easily.

Did you take a look at the
Did you take a look at the freelinking module and the wiki module together?
You can see an example of how it work at http://wiki.bryght.com/
It also allows you to access nodes by the node title, albet it requires the additional "freelinking" between the site url and the node title...
wiki module
I've been working on a simple hack of the standard Drupal book module that will enable a wiki type node. This node will show up in revision and logging as "wiki page". Permissions are independent for this wiki node so you could, for instance, allow Visitors to create wiki pages (not the root page) but not book pages.
I've been searching the site for book module patches or code snippets to add to the wiki module so the fuctionality will be somewhat different from the book module, more wiki-like.
This only exists on my local Drupal "site" on my laptop so I can't really provide a demonstration, but I could e-mail the module to anyone who is interested.
xvwiki.module
Ill have a look at the freelinking module and see what to do with revisions, then see if I can get a module with some nice functionality. Ive seen ther bryght wiki, very good and wondering what else we can do like that.
wiki like functionality
I have a module that defines a wiki page type in its own module. The module has depends on the freelinking module. The module implements a wiki syntax through some code from the 4.6 wiki module, though this may be done another way in the future (PEAR maybe). The recent changes pages could be done through something like tracker or the views module. The current way of doing it in this module is to have the wiki functionality in the wiki node type and have the module adding the extra functionality to just this node type. I might start a drupal project if theres demand for this type of functionality, there already is a wiki module, but it isnt converted to 4.7 yet and only does wiki formatting.
there is interest
I have a client who is interested in having wiki pages in his drupal site. Is your module ready?

It should be ready for uploading, but Its not going to be ready soon. I should get back onto doing something with it soon. I have some code that does the basic stuff, though the normal functionality is non-existant at the moment
