A suggest addition "time-based partitioning" or when your notes have a time-based taxonomy like:
- archive/ for notes spanning an indefinite amount of time, as long as they exists
- YYYY/ an year by another
- YYYY/mm/dd notes etc
Might seems strange at first but one of the problems of wikis and notes is outdated/garbage content. Keep notes/wikis clean it's essentially an impossible task because it's alone a full time job. Using time-based subdivision allow to have noise/garbage without polluting much the "normally used wiki/notes space" still retain bits that might became useful in the future.
Aside almost all wikis/notes tools fails miserably in attachment management. The real point of notes is being themselves an "information system", much like a file system not constrained by files and directories. Managing files it's essential to complete the game and merely "you can attach a file" does not suffice.
Dynamically composed pages (transclusion, pages formed out of queries) are a must. The original idea was probably the Libraries of Babel, by Conrad Gessner [1] with hist idea of "information cut to atoms (books cut with scissors) reassembled on the fly by the human" because when we need some bits we just want them and a whole book [or file, or page] it's simply too much noise to deal with for some bits of signal. Far more modern Mundaneum [2] was essentially a pre-web web. XML-based feeds in modern time are another. The issue is having a proper UI.
So far some have arrived nearby: org-mode allow some aspects, TiddlyWiki some others (good transclusion), BookStack some others as well but ultimately all fails the complete picture IMVHO because most of them are designed by devs without library knowledge experience and librarian have next-to-zero needed IT knowledge to offer the other bits needed to know to create a complete system.
