I'm a fan of DokuWiki for light projects. It's got several authentication mechanisms and ACL security if you need it, and creating a template is just a matter of including the right hooks in a PHP file, so you can include arbitrary PHP in templates. I've used this to change things based on date, who's logged in, and so on. Quite a few modules, and they seem to be on a fairly active development cycle.

Note: it doesn't use a database; everything is either a text file or media file in the data root.

The interface is decent. You get your choice of Textile or Markdown, and there's a TinyMCE addon floating around somewhere (oh, check out the Extend->Contributed Plugins page). Uploading and inserting files into pages can be a little tricky for end users.

Hasn't been updated in a while but the author says he's started working on it again.
