My only practice in the world of wikis has been in pbwiki. Our library has several wikis set up through pbwiki for staff use (and I already have an account - YAY!). I have edited pages on several of the wikis there before and it was an easy task - after being invited, registering, and setting up my preferences of course.
The wiki world seems to have served our library staff well so far. Many people are using the wikis for one reason or another. One main use of the wikis has been for scheduling reference desk hours. Staff members are free to "adjust" the schedule as needed for trades, subs, etc. The wikis have also been used as a source of information for new procedures and practices in the libraries. Staff can go to the wikis to view instructions, captivate videos, training guides, policies, and announcements. I probably use the wikis a few times a month to view a few of our training guides and edit the schedules, but I am definitely not a daily user. So, I don't do much heavy editing or creating of new wikis, but I do understand the process. It is so much better than trying to organize anything through email!
