Arcane's suggestion about localhost is excellent as long as you'll always edit from the same machine. If not, then you'll have to set up permissions properly. I also have a wiki where only I can edit. In my LocalSettings.php I have:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
Note that: [1] this is for a very old version: 1.13.4. [2] Also, I might not have set the variables optimally. [3] It still allows everyone to read it
But this is the direction you should take (unless you will always edit from the same machine).

If you want to create a wiki with these features in MediaWiki, I suggest checking out the Extensions available for MediaWiki on mediawiki.org and picking what is needed for your setup. There are several wiki extensions for lists and flowcharts, and stock MediaWiki already has some of those features you mentioned already included, but given the sheer amount available you may have to do some experimenting to find what you need.
Since you don't mind having either a localhost or public web setup but aren't sure what you need at the moment, I would stick with a localhost setup and experiment with extensions until you find what you need, and on a localhost setup you would have total freedom to add and remove changes at will until you find the right combination of extensions to make the wiki you are hoping to create.
Also, if you don't feel the need or don't wish to wish your wiki public, a localhost setup would be best for your purposes, especially if you will putting potentially sensitive information for your own personal use on the wiki. A localhost wiki will also be only edited by yourself and you will have total control over what information is added, if that is a concern.

hello!
I want to create a wiki (either local or web)
my main goal is to be able to organize alot of data very nicely and to edit it easily (not looking for ability to be edited by others etc)
however, I want to be able to do these:
- create and edit rich text (wiki can already do that)
- create and edit flowcharts, diagrams, etc of as many as possible
types (can it do it?) 3) create tables, sortable, filterable, searchable, etc (can it do it?)
please advise if it can and how to do it!
thanks!
