A good way to brush up on the basics of SEO - manage your own Wiki?

Several months ago I made a Wiki for a site I frequent (game). Over time, the Wiki has grown (little by little) and sometimes I notice searching for one thing doesn't bring you to the right page - so I need to tweak the desired page so it comes up in the results.

I noticed that this, on an extremely small scale, seems to be similar to the basics of SEO. The Wiki becomes a "mini internet" and the search acts similar to the search engines (but on a much smaller scale).

They take content into consideration as well as usage (headers, etc..).

You tweak the individual pages to get them higher in the results when certain keywords are searched.

Actually, wiki's are good for SEO in pretty much every way.
They generate fresh content regularly, and they provide internal links.
Internal links get you some decent authority, one of the reasons why Wikipedia ranks so well (millions of internal links, as well as links to it). If you have a proper navigational structure as well, those internal links can even help you get authority links under your SERP listing.
