Based on a quick review of our current wiki, here are the elements I saw us currently using that look like requirements:
Table of contents (automatic)
Page links with manual link display (link|title)
Hyperlinks
Tables
Header row and column
Line breaks in cells
Bullets
Numbering
Nested numbering (1 a/b/c, 2 a/b/c)
Document attachments
Listing of attachments
Linking to attachments inside pages
Versioning of attachments?
Monospaced/plain-text font as word or code block
Page versioning with diffs and reversion
GUI/Visual editing
Text-mode editing (optional?)
Markdown page language (optional?)
Per-user authentication with full content restriction (that is, none of the wiki is viewable without authentication) 
Wide browser support (at least Edge/Firefox/Chrome/Safari)
 

Here are some additional requirements that we don’t have right now but will definitely need:
Separate spaces on the wiki with granular/differentiable access rights
User groups (eases management of space access rights significantly)
User self-management of profiles (registration with approval, password changes)
Sub-spaces with inherited or differentiated access rights
 

In addition, we might consider these optional features as nice-to-haves but not requirements:
Polling capability (eliminate the use of Doodle)
Display of attachment content in a page (don’t just link it, show the contents of the doc)
Page export to standard formats (DOCX, PDF)
Calendar capability
