We had initially requested a wordpress site from our IT department, but when we explained what we were trying to do they told us that [[Mediawiki]] is a much better fit for us.

Over time, this wiki went from a loosely hyperlinked collection of documents about some of our processes to a highly structured system that is fully integrated into our collection tools and data analysis.
Some data has its master repository on the wiki, and we have pages that return the structured data as tables that can be used in our collection software and analysis software. [[Example]]
Other data is has its master repository in SQL tables, and we have queries that generate a line of mediawiki markup for each line of data. This allows us to copy/paste the data to a single wiki page that then supplies structured data to many others. [[Example]]
