Joplin might do what you want, but it's not exactly light, and it's intended for markdown. If you really want just plain text, Fossil might be your best choice. Literally no setup, comes with a wiki, supports hyperlinking and wiki-style page creation, and you can use the minimalist wiki syntax described here: https://fossil-scm.org/home/wiki_rules https://fossil-scm.org/home/wiki_rules And you can create pages in a text editor and add them to the wiki at the command line if you want.
