Thanks everyone. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
This will be strictly an internal company wiki for developers and users to share thoughts and info on different processing systems we have. I have to get the initial set up done and put some data in to get started. Then, others will take off with it. Initially, I need to revamp the navigation sidebar so the user can click on a link, for example lets call it System. When they click on that link it will take them to another page which lists links to various sub titles under the main "System". Kinda of like an outline. Is that possible? One Main Topic called System could have 20 sub topics where information about various aspects of that system. I think they could enter the name (System) in search and find pages that way but trying to find an easier way.

Mediawiki.org would be the first place to stop. Check out the configuration guide: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration Most configuration changes are made by editing, adding, or removing variables in the LocalSettings.php file. Additional features not included with the software can be added through extensions: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Extensions I came from a programming background too, the learning curve isn't too bad. This list is excellent for more specific questions.
