Hello

I use pbworks, basic plan (free)
https://plans.pbworks.com/

Indeed, that is not mediawiki, but I find that specific wiki quite 
confortable to work with and the hosting service is good (not lagging 
horribly as other wiki farms are something doing).

I have been testing it for roughly two months and feel happy about it. 
Currently considering going for the for-pay plan to use it for my 
business to communicate with my clients.

The basic plan allow only one space, but this space can be closed. So it 
should fit your needs.

Alternatively, you may set up your own mediawiki (I also have one), but 
this require
* hosting service
* domain name
* install and updates

To be fair, unless you are a total geek and mediawiki fan, I would 
recommand the no-hassle pbworks solution.
