Any suggestions for a wiki module that allows me to plug a wiki into my page, or allow my users to. I didn't really see anything in 6. What for example is used for the wikis we post here on our DUG?

wikitools and diff
Hello, Grant,
Create a new content type (named wiki, or whatever you want to call it). Enable revision on it. Use the diff module to get cleaner display of revisions. Use wikitools (and either pearwiki or freelinking for wiki-style input formats) for more wiki-type functionality. The talk module will format comments to display on a separate tab, like Mediawiki does. However, I don't know if Talk is configurable to only work on specific node types -- if not, that would be a nice addition to it.
All these modules have D6 releases, although pearwiki hasn't had a release since December 07.
Views2 for D6 also has backlinks and forward links functionality. It's pretty sweet.

Talk, Recent Changes and Interwiki
Talk module is configurable when it comes to which content types it affects. There's a bug in it, though, and I recommend staying away from Talk module until there's a new release.
Another module worth mentioning is the Recent Changes module. There is a version for D6, but the patch that fixes the access control bug is only good for the 5.x-1.2 version.
Wiki-style links can be created with Interwiki as well as Freelinking, but just be sure that your wiki pages have paths like /wiki/Wiki_Page or Interwiki won't know where your wiki pages are.
Complete instructions
Hi,
I successfully set up a Drupal Wiki following the detailed instructions at:
http://stephenondrupal.blogspot.com/2007/10/set-up-wiki-with-drupal-5.html
As the URL title implies, it's for Drupal 5. You can probably look into adapting it for 6.

wysiwyg editing for wiki
Yeah I'm using wikitools, freelinking, interwiki, talk, and video_filter, along with fckeditor for wysiwyg editing and IMCE for image uploading/embedding.
Instead of recentchanges I just link to the built-in tracker view (which can be modified if necessary).
Of course I also use CCK, views, panels, and other modules, but most importantly pathauto.
I noticed though the new version of organic groups has a setting where you can pick certain content types that are used with organic groups and can be edited by any member of the group (rather than just the author), so maybe wikitools is not needed in that case.
