I use media wiki which can require a login to edit or even view pages.
See http://sourceforge.net/projects/wikipedia/. They run
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia on this, so I imagine it can
prevent wiki spam.
I could host the wiki as well, but it probably should just go on the
list server box.
