Something like Jekyll (site generator that lets you use markdown for simplified coding, without the whole multi-editor thing) or a simpler wiki implementation like DokuWiki might be worth looking into as a solution lighter and easier to use if you don't need everything mediawiki provides, though switching might require a whole different learning curve if you are already familiar with mediawiki.

pages-gem
A simple Ruby Gem to bootstrap dependencies for setting up and maintaining a local Jekyll environment in sync with GitHub Pages
Netlify is more like the host itself, like the cpanel of your namecheap hosting except specifically dedicated to working with site generators like Jekyll, so you can't really use that particular part of it unless you want to change hosts. Honestly if you want to try out Jekyll, your best bet is probably testing on Github Pages since it's free and built in (so you don't really have to do any complicated installation other than just leaning how to work github). If you like it then just skip namecheap's hosting altogether and just use your custom domain name to point to github. It is possible to install Jekyll on namecheap hosting but from what I can tell it's a pretty huge hassle unless you have a dedicated server plan (which the "Stellar" plans are not).

If you NEVER want anyone else to contribute to the site, maybe a static site generator like hugo is a better bet? MediaWiki is pretty complicated to sysadmin, the primary benefit of it is allowing others to contribute.
