OneNote - while not a real wiki in my opinion - was close enough and could do this and I sometimes recommended it to Microsoft centric clients of mine.

Now they are leaving the version I liked behind but some people might enjoy the new version.

I wish One Note allowed markdown blocks, I like how easy you can paste things like pictures and drawings, but it does not work well for stuff like code blocks.

Off the top of my mind tagging is also a weak spot (it insists on users using one of a number of defined tags, and while tags can be added it takes time and you also cannot type them out but have to rely on clumsy nested dropdows for all but the top 10 that can be reached via keyboard shortcuts.)

I'm fairly certain there was more problems but all in all OneNote still used to be a good solutions for smaller companies that was stuck in Microsoft land anyway.
