Second wiki.js.

I've used DokuWiki for over a decade but it's showing its age. It's just a collection of hacks to add features and sometimes third party plugins are too buggy but wiki.js has most of what I wanted built-in.

It had WYSIWYG editor. Frankly a bare markdown editor is out of the question as it is never intuitive for anyone but some techie who likes remembering all the tags and I'm s programmer for a long time but I'd take WYSIWYG any day for managing structured documents.

It has plenty of auth targets from LDAP to oauth and many others.

It doesn't force you with some weird rule such as "link first and create page" but just hit the "New page" button and since it has list of pages for both front side and the admin panel, you'll never have some page left in limbo.

Admin panel is good. It lets you put custom CSS, so you can control the look pretty well including removing the parts you don't want.

Custom navigation let's you add any links in the menu and access control is good, so it's easy to allow a group of people access certain pages.

And it looks good.

I'm just a user.
