Users (well, administrators) run a script to create a wiki, this symlinks
index.php (which is in /usr/share) to the directory the user provided, and
creates a config directory where mediawiki will put the config file it
generates. So the website's wiki dir only contains a few symlinks, a
config file and an images dir (the config dir should be removed after
configuration, this is standard mediawiki practice).

It has documentation in /etc/httpd/conf.d/mediawiki.conf which can be
uncommented or copy/pasted into some other config file. Maybe it just
needs to be moved to /etc/httpd/conf/webapps.d/mediawiki.conf where I
think the mandriva config file was.
