What Wiki or other webserver to use for intranet site?

You can move to that now even if you only use it for just SharePoint.
$400 a month for something that I'll only access in house (and frankly I don't believe it will really get much use - but management wants it) I'm sure I can find a free or nearly free linux solution for this. Which is why I tried the Turnkey MediaWiki first (I'm a linux NOOB).

MediaWiki is the defacto choice here. Never had a speed issue. It's fast and easy to manage. If MySQL is a concern the pmWiki is good and only uses the file system.

Cool I'll probably stick with it for now.

I would.

I tried to setup Sharpoint Foundations 2013 and then I found out it doesn't work with 2012 R2. I had a sad.

You could do Sharepoint Foundation 2013, but that may be overkill in terms of what you want to do and managing it moving forward. I don't think I would use it just for a wiki.

So now more than a year later, what did you end up doing? You still running MediaWiki?

Drupal. I built a section where we can track issues with certain products we make, a section for maintenance logs, a section for safety violations and accidents, a section for QC, and some misc stuff like a visitors section where people sign in but just fill out the form and sign with their finger instead of using a paper log. It also has company documents and forms that can be printed off if needed.

I had a Mediawiki for about 6 months, but the formatting on wikis is just horrible. It's also aesthetically displeasing.
I need to look into other options, but it hasn't been a priority.

We have a couple of sharepoint sites, It really doesn't get a ton of use though.

The problem is, easy to edit and aesthetically pleasing rarely go together. There really aren't good tools for making something that is easy for quick documentation that then looks really nice too. Great formatting takes effort.

I feel that we get far less use when it looks nice because it is then harder to use. It's the easier, uglier tools that seem to get the love the most.
