I agree that editing the html files by hand is a bit of a pain. The only concern I would have would be how to handle spam. Unfortunately that is a real problem these days. For the wikis I setup I either spend some time every day to delete/revert the spam or keep the wiki closed to only registered users (which kind of defeats most of the positives of having a wiki in the first place).
