A wiki is more of a documentation system than a knowledge base. I think some
KBs could very well employ a wiki as back-technology for writing the
articles. But a KB is more strict in its writing: it can have a fixed layout
(like "title, synopsis, environment, analysis, solution" [1]), allows for
additional metadata (keywords, references to other articles, point-system
per query, ...) and focuses more on its search technology than on the
writing.
