It scales better than you think from that though. Honestly, if we're going to be doing anything involving access permissions (and a scifi lit wiki sounds like we are), then I'm recommend not using Mediawiki, you tend to end up doing some nasty hacks. Foswiki is a hierarchial wiki with proper access permissions and so on. It also uses a different markup language to Mediawiki, and one which I greatly prefer, although I admit if you've only learned mediawiki there is a small learning curve. You can also do some fairly good tricks with the markup in creating apps and specially formatted pages. I've used it professionally and I also use it for my own documentation needs.
