The product he pointed to and we've used ever since is OpenWiki, which you can download for free from http://openwiki.com/.
If you've ever tried to set up an internal website to document your project, and failed because it was just a little bit too much work to add or change content, then this is for you.
I set it up on my machine as a test, and it told me as I went what the various components I'd need to download from Microsoft were to get my machine up to spec.

I also don't like the fact that it uses IIS (but that's a personal viewpoint - why use IIS when Apache/Perl/PHP are free and robust?), but it does seem to be adding features very quickly and has some nice features already.

I've also got a lot of experience with OpenWiki, having installed it in a number of places, and even posted a patch for OpenWiki on the OpenWiki SourceForge project site for uploading files without COM.

OpenWiki includes special operations called "macros" which are recognized if the name appears between a pair of left and right angle bracket <...> characters.
These are given directly following the macro name and are enclosed between a pair of left and right parenthesis (...) characters, separated by commas.
You can obviously create subdirectories within the images folder if you want to group together a collection of images.
If you were logged in you would be able to see more operations.

I will attach a screenshot of the OpenWiki help.

This particular wiki has every system option turned on except the one that would give editors the ability to enter raw HTML into a page (with some minor exceptions to that exception).
OpenWiki also supports the "old" style of placing emphasis on text which is used by several original wikis.
