Your command has three parts:
php index.php?title=Main  -- Run command php with parameter
'index.php?title=Main'
& --If the last command was successful (return code 0) execute the next one
action=raw   --Execute 'action=raw'
>   -- Redirect output to file
test.txt  -- Named test.txt


Always be very careful with shell metacharacters!

The query you were expecting to do was:
php "index.php?title=Main&action=raw" > test.txt

However note that using the command line interface you're not setting
the server variables mediawiki expects so it probably still won't do
what you want to.
