If you want stuff like this, then a Wiki is not appropriate, I think. 
I'd suggest you look at the popular free Content Management Systems.

This site lists pretty much all of them:

My personal favorite is Plone, which I've done a lot of work with.  It's 
very cool, but a bit weird.  It uses Zope though, which means you need a 
specialist Zope hoster, so it won't run on your existing hoster:

That said, PHP and Perl are evil and to be avoided if at all possible.

I shall now go and don my flameproof longjohns.

Cheers,

Doug.
