We've used DokuWiki and MediaWiki but these days are using Sharepoint which is a wiki.

I'm thinking of using a Raspberry Pi as a Web Server for this purpose. It's just text documents.

Do you have a VM infrastructure?

I have a VM host server (ESXi) but I also have a Raspi 2 just sitting here. I'd rather use those resources for other stuff like a proxy etc.

We did a wiki for awhile but I was the only one in my department who could be bothered to actually use it (come on guys, Markdown is not that hard). So we used Evernote Business for awhile and have now settled on a shared OneNote. It works pretty well, and the search works great, but still, I'm typically the only one entering new documentation into it. But that's a people problem, not a platform problem.

The VM for this should only require maybe 1 GB of RAM and 20-40 GB of disk, and nearly zero CPU. Even if I had 100 r-pie's I'd still run this on my VM platform assuming I have the RAM and storage available.
heck, you can probably do less storage too.

Much less RAM as well. I think you could get away with 128 or 256MB.

Done and done

I feel your pain.

@Dashrender I want to categorize my articles by topic: (printing, blackberry, etc.)
In DokuWiki that would be namespaces. The only problem I've seen with categorizing in DokuWiki are people accidentally making a page in the root namespace, otherwise it's pretty simple.
Yeah, the namespace system adds a lot of complication for end users.
