Customizing a sharepoint 2007 wiki site

Question

I have been asked to customize a SharePoint 2007 wiki site into a 'Wikipedia' like interface and functionality.

After a bit of goggling it turns out that wiki's are not that readily customizable!!

Any recommendations or resources?

Edit:

As, this site is part of the SharePoint portal it is not possible for me to port to a different tool. And, my solution requires to add content types and webparts on the wiki pages.

Now, I am following the approach mentioned by Pavan to add a seperate wiki file for your customization.

If you have any other approach than this, please share.
