I think you should consider mediawiki, the wiki used by wikipedia.

Does that the same as the moinmoin wiki or whatever we had.

I know it can do categories and we can do such a thing manually. I'd
have to check of we can make it automated.

I don't think it'd be too hard to do.

Media wiki has a very powerful templating system that would do exactly
what you want. For example you could have something like {{Rulename|
Actualrule|Section|Chutzpah}} in the page code and it would render the
rule however you wanted based on the actual template. In that way to
make a massive change like chutzpuh all you have to do is alter the
template and add the chutzpah amount for each of the rules. Even better
you can have defaults so if you don't add it in it will deafult to 1.

It's a wiki so this part is covered.
