usemod fits that desciption rather well, and is widely used.
kwiki is also another good one which is quite extensible using perl.

Another thing which may or may not work for you is emacs-wiki.  It's
more of an individual wiki/blogging tool which allows you to publish
to HTML.  You can edit it too, like a normal wiki via the web, but it
requires you run the emacs-httpd server.  But, if you're looking for a
simple emacs-based utility, you can't beat EmacsWikiMode.  Combine that
with PlannerMode, remember, gnus, and bbdb, and you've got one of the
best hyper-linked PIMs available (provided you like emacs :)
