WordPress Wiki That Doesn’t Suck
This plugin uses custom post types. And that’s pretty much it. It creates a new custom post type (wpwtds_article) that can be accessed from the Wiki != suck menu it adds to your sidebar (!= is “not equal to” in coder jargon). Wiki articles are posted with the wiki slug, so your URLs will look like http://mydomain.com/wiki/my-cool-article>.
Okay, that’s all about it. If you interested to build Wiki site from your existing WordPress blog you can choose on of them
