I've often needed the functionality of a Wiki + the functionality of tagles combined. For instance, the on-the-fly DB of tagles (ability to pivot on any node) with the ease of use and text centricitiy of a Wiki. Maybe as a plugin for Confluence? People work with rows and columns a lot. Just look to how much management uses spreadsheets for text, for instance. To them, it's a super simple database. I see tagles filling that exact role. The advantage is, with tagles, you can click on anything and see everything related to it. Much more useful than a single giant spreadsheet. Put it in a wiki, and everyone can edit it.
