Well the big deal about Wiki is it is the fastest easiest way I know to enable people to make large websites entirely through their webbrowsers. (no ftp, no login, no external editors...) You can make pages, you can rename them, comment on them, you can re-link them, there is a built in search feature, contents and recent changes and other perks - and you don't need any tools to use it.
Also all the content is in structured text so (no markup - no navigation) so you can take wiki pages and feed them into other stuff (generate PDF, XML, use as doc files, send to other Wikis...)
As for the layout of this one... I am sticking to the basic ZWIKI (that is the prime Zope wiki product) layout for a little while and only making minor changes. I am hoping to get the freezope guys to upgrade this Zwiki because the newer one is more style sheet friendly, but I think it might be a while. Untill this happens I am loath to really customize the layout since it would get wrecked in an upgrade.
Ps if you want to see another good wiki - this is a neat one and pretty impressive.

Maybe someone could write a entry for Crossfire for it...

Wiki Suggestion
How does one change or update the links in the upper right corner?
The ones detailed here..
* Home
* Something
* Documents
* Crossfire Wiki
I'm guessing that it's Admin only?
As a convenience, it's my suggestion to add a link to RecentChanges and contents in that line, too.

Website
Those are part of the site navigation, not in the wiki itself (actually you can't change anything above or below those yellow bars). I could put a link to recent changes in the top area if you like, there is one on the bottom bar if you missed it.
Everything higher than the search box however is the site header. You should check out the document portion of the site - not wiki but something called a 'talkback book' which uses structured text too (so you can grab a wiki page ang slap it in there) but only allow comments (unless you are authenticated user) and can be exported as PDFs. I see the Wiki as an encyclopedia - document developement area and the document section as a place for more polished documents but available for comments. And there's more stuff on the way...
