Wikis are commonly used by development folks as a sort of whiteboard/on
the fly documentation system. This means any common comment tokens like

#
;
/* */
//
--
<!-- -->

are probably not a good idea, unfortunately. Hash marks are already used
by PhpWiki for numbered lists... how about:

%%
@@

or something equally wretched? I do think comments are a good thing
though.
