Indeed. In fact the worst wiki overview article I've ever read.
Not only wrong for certain implementations, it also misses a lot of the 
newer and smaller wiki engines, esp. Guiki, the new perl-based ones 
(partially Kwiki but others also), which made a huge step lately, the 
new pear Text_Wiki module, and the huge TikiWiki.

Not talking about the tools, feature sets and the latest efforts coming 
to a interwiki syntax and exchange format.

Indeed, mediawiki seems to be the easiest to install for mysql if you 
own the server. And it scales good.
