We use MoinMoin. There is a reason behind this, which I am not 100% positive. 
Mark (sabdfl) did state a couple of months back in a blog post about 
switching to MediaWiki. I prefer MoinMoin as it doesn't have a crapload of 
useless tags like MediaWiki has, plus I have been using it for more than a 
year now, so I am comfortable with it as well.
