I use them for intranet content management systems where we also have the ability for many users to update pages easily. Instead of complex software imposed rights we just have employees edit only those ares they are responsible for. And it is simply to look back if someone makes a mistake. Wikis are great tools for maintaining content in house. And while many organizations have realized this, still there is a huge number of organizations that don't take advantage of wikis in this way. By making it so easy to update information you greatly reduce the amount of information that just never gets updated because it is a hassle to update it.

Do you use categories for that? Are the breadcrumbs generated automatically? I was wondering how you get the nice subsections (e.g. tools/latex)? Do you use categories for that?

The added value of a wiki, in my opinion, is that it allows you to create new nodes on the fly and to continuously refactor content without any prior assumptions on the right structure. You can still add structure (e.g. using categories) if you wish, but you don't need to. This is something many people would possibly disagree with.
