Just from personal experience, I tried to do a much similar thing with
JSPWiki and some other wikis - a personal data store.
For 100% personal use, I've decided something like Microsoft Onenote or
Evernote is a better hammer for this scenario. They don't do great at
storing a lot of code, though.
Not dismissing JSPWiki at all - it is a wonderful tool for many, many
applications. I just don't think it fits the bill for a personal
database as well as some others. I was using OneNote, and have started
moving to Evernote and having all my notes available on laptop, iphone,
and ipad wherever and whenever I may be is a great tool.

This sounds great! Make your content as difficult as possible to find
and when folk get the hang of it, move it all around!
Sounds to me like it's the opposite of a wiki.
Can't really say. I expect to be the only user.
I think that what you want is called a "web site" :-)
No - seriously - any tree in html is soft - you can create it easily
in a wiki. I think I'd generate the pages from a script and I'd not
use a wiki at all... You could use some simple databases for content
and the tree...
I imagined I can add pages to categories and those categories into
higher level categories and so on. Than I want the "tree" to be
displayed in a compact form for me to browse. MediaWiki has a
CategoryTree plugin that seems to do something similar
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree).
If you must use a wiki, I guess that creating a set of pages and
updating links from a script could be done easily enough...
...but I fear that you've not given as much info as could make things clear.
Well here's some more. The thing I need must
- Help me organize my personal information. That can cover anything:
from code snippets to information on people I know.
- Be web accessible and relatively secure so I can use it from work.
- Use wiki markup so I don't have to type HTML.
- Store data on the file system. Allows easy backups and usage of other tools.
- Have searching for the cases when I want to jump exactly where I need.
- Have category browsing when I want an overview of what's available
on a given topic, or when I need to decide where to put the new stuff.
Hope this is now too much info,
Todor
