Hey, computer geeks, can anyone recommend me a good Wiki software package? Ideally, I'd like to be able do some minor layout-fidgeting (to make it fit in with the rest of my site layout), but that's not essential. I'm basically looking to use it as a dumping ground for plot bunnies, worldbuilding, and stuff like that--something that's a bit more organised than assorted LJ posts and/or handwritten notes.

[ETA] Never mind, went with MediaWiki in the end, which is decent-looking and pretty customisable as far as I can tell. Now to figure out how to customise is ...[/ETA]

Blah, they put me on a different break schedule, now I have to wait even longer for my first break. Booo!

MediaWiki is nice, but it's a bit on the heavy side. I used it for the ERIS wiki (which I never really put much content in), and didn't like it much.

Possibly the coolest wiki I've seen is TiddlyWiki: http://www.tiddlywiki.com/

It doesn't require any server-side scripting. It doesn't even require a webserver. It's written entirely in javascript and CSS. This means that you could stick it on a flash drive, and just carry it from computer to computer.

And I will exalt you forever if you or anyone can count the number of fandoms in it.
