Ok. I've started to explore my out-of-consensus mercurial wiki
views at

http://mercurial.wikispaces.com/

Pages currently ported away (from both the current wiki and static site)
include:

http://mercurial.wikispaces.com/quickstart
http://mercurial.wikispaces.com/UnderstandingMercurial
http://mercurial.wikispaces.com/repository
http://mercurial.wikispaces.com/about

I'll stick to English pages only and -- of course -- no developer pages.

That wiki provider supports wysiwyg editing, and -- what I'm especially
pleased about -- exporting of all pages and files (wiki text or html)
as a zip archive.

But I've not yet decided if that's going to be my definitive choice
for a wiki provider. But at least it has some nice features.
The higher priced offerings would allow to fine tune the CSS as well
(I'm currently on the 30 day free trial of the Plus plan, which allows
to choose from a fixed set of templates plus tweaking the colors).
