A couple of jobs ago (so we’re talking like late 00s) I rolled an internal wiki system on top of mercurial.

It was a directory of files - I think plain text with a few wiki shortcuts, but might have been some sort of early Markdown.

The editing form was basically a text area on top of mercurial.

Similarly things like the edit log were basically dumping the mercurial output into html.

No clue how long it lasted, but it was still in regular use when I left in 2012.

Wrote the whole thing in a few afternoons.
