Actually, the main missing feature is revision control, if you ask me.
A wiki can still be useful without authentication, but a wiki without
revision control cannot be of any practical use, IMHO.

What is your goal? Are you looking to build something that could be
used as a wiki in practice? If so, I am guessing it won't stay <100
LOC for long. One can do a basic wiki in <100 LOC (actually, one can
do that in just 5), but I don't believe one can do a practical wiki in
under 500.

I went through all of this with Sputnik over the past year and a half.
It started with the goal of being small, 1000 LOC written in one
evening, but then there is always one next feature that people can't
live without. You need authentication, you need permissions, you need
configuration, etc. I had to redefine "small" as meaning "small
relative to what it can do". :)
