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.

Subject: [MediaWiki-l] wiki format
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:
1) create and edit rich text (wiki can already do that)
2) 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!
