We're a new group and at recommendation of this thread, I set up
dokuwiki for us and I like it already!

Wanted to ask what WIKI software teams are using to save documentation to / how to's for staff, etc.

On the wiki side: +1 for dokuwiki

Given that more and more people are automating stuff and this way ending
up git anyway:

Write your doku as markdown, put it into git, generate static web
pages. For people who like editing via a GUI can use gitlab or something
similar.

This approach has some advantages:

- You always have (a more or less) current version of your documentation
  offline
- You can just use grep to find stuff
