Earnie and others following this thread:
Earnie, your example actually shows the limits of simply Googling. In fact, the liquid wiki project http://drupal.org/project/liquid seems abandonedhttp://drupal.org/node/148904for the moment, which is the one that is mentioned in the Wiki recipe which Google displayed on top.
There is a pretty detailed thread at groupshttp://groups.drupal.org/node/7072which points to more activity being done on the wikitools http://drupal.org/project/wikitools module. Indeed it seems there was a flurry of work on Wikitools in April and there is a D6 version for it.
I have found this thread most helpful and informative and dislike the suggestion that simply Googling could have replaced the helpful discussion here.
My own concern is that functionality that would handle issues around simultaneous editing do yet seem to be provided. If people know otherwise, please post.

Quoting Ari Davidow aridavidow@gmail.com:
We're beginning to describe a Drupal project that we feel is "wiki-ish"
and
I am thoroughly confused as to what would be needed to implement a
"wiki"
using drupal. It looks like wikitools provides some filters to translate between wiki markup and regular html, but for our purposes, that is the piece we care about least. (We intend to use tinyMCE or equivalent for markup--the users of this project will not be any happier with wiki
markup
than with html.)
So, what makes a page a wiki? We are thinking of a few primary elements:
- The ability of any registered user to edit the page in a browser.
(Note:
Any registered Drupal user with appropriate permissions can do this with
any
Drupal page, as well.)
- The ability to view the page's history and to roll back changes
easily.
(This may also be built into Drupal?)
- The ability to create a new, blank page by creating a link to it.
Are we really just talking about a standard Drupal book? When other
people
say 'wiki,' to what more are they referring (or is the "what more" wiki markup language?)
Surely you know how to Google[1]. If you had you would have found a recipe[2] at the top of the list.
