I would say the UseModWiki seems to be quite sufficient.  One feature I really like
about the AtisWiki we use here at work is the ability to force a link by surrounding
it with underscores, i.e. _lexical_cast_.  So I don't have to use LexicalCast.  Is
there some other syntax that one could use?

Other than this the BoostWiki looks great.  I like the user preferences.
