Against spammers it has some cool features such as UrlApprovals, and the
more common Bl[o|a]cklists. It is also possible to require an 'Author'
field and register the IP addresses. And, as you can see[1], restoring
pages is very easy.

 1. http://www.wesnoth.org/pmwiki/Main/HomePage?action=diff

It supports plain authorization and has a plugin to enable user
authentification (it is planned to add this feature to the main pmwiki
soon).

No blocking of pages needed: pmwiki merges the changes.

Another good thing is that its development is very active, so if we
find a bug or any problem, we can always report it.

I don't know.
Which is the current format? And, isn't it (partially) corrupted?

Yes, I think it is.

I know PHP.
