Some other folks have already pointed you in the right direction to start - however, a simple comment - you say "you" must get data into the Wiki. The power of the Wiki is getting broad data from a number of users. If your just going to post data, you could just create a web page searchable by Google. The wiki is powerful because of it's collaboration ability, so you need to enlist a lot of users to help get you started.

Hi, What suggestions do you have for someone who has to set up a Wiki using Mediawiki. It has been installed by a tech guy but now I, as a programmer, have to set it up, get it functioning and get data into it. That is my assignment at work. (Suggestions to find another job will not work!!!) I have gotten permissions set up so I can edit LocalSettings.php (and I don't know php either). I know nothing about Wiki except looking stuff up in Wikipedia!!!
