Iowa State University Wiki
Rofflehaus, a wiki for Iowa State University and surrounding areas is the most developed university-centered wiki I have seen to date. They appear to be using it as a portal for information, posting sports schedules and scores, recent and upcoming events, etc. The maturity of the wiki is pretty impressive given the fact it only started on July 1 of this year. They also have about 100k more hits than the Case Wiki with only half the number of users. Of course, our user number is a bit deceiving because our wiki logs you in automatically if you are logged into CAS, but still... Still, I am having a difficult time finding university-centered wikis hosted by the university itself. It seems to be a pattern that these wikis are the ones that take longer to grow. I blame the requirement for registered users. Of course, removing that taints your wiki.
