Comment on Which wiki software to host

Mediawiki does have a WYSIWYG editor, but it’s a separate extension: www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor
The benefit of Mediawiki is that anyone that’s edited Wikipedia before will know how to use it. It’s a pretty heavy piece of software though, and the learning curve is relatively high if you’ve never hosted it before.
I used Dokuwiki at my previous job, maybe 15 years ago. It worked well. It doesn’t need a database as it stores all wiki pages as plain text files on disk. I don’t know if it has a WYSIWYG editor though. I’ve never used it on a public-facing site so I’m not sure how authentication works (at my previous job, we hooked it up to Active Directory for auth).
BookStack and wiki.js are two newer ones that have good reviews, but I don’t have any experience with them.
I installed that editor, but that’s the point, I’m looking for something where I didn’t have to puzzle too many extensions together.
I’ll probably give DokuWiki another try. Bookstack is not what I’m looking for, but maybe I’ll have a look at wiki.js!

Dokuwiki has a well working WYSIWYG editor these days: www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:prosemirror
