Couldn't you leave the files where they are and modify your apache re-write rules? I don't use apache so I'm not sure on this one, but it sounds like what people have used it for.

Hi, all, First post--please don't hurt me. :) I installed MediaWiki a couple of months ago to begin using as an intranet for about 80 people in an academic library environment. At the time, the idea was to only have a portion of the intranet be a wiki. Now, I'm sold, and I want to make the wiki the environment for the whole intranet. Question: how do I move the wiki files from /siterootfolder/wiki/ to just having the wiki files be the site root? Can I just dump them into the site root folder, or would that break stuff, including the existing articles? :) Part of my motivation for doing this is shortening URLs even more: http://hostname/wiki/My_Article_Title http://hostname/My_Article_Title I feel like if the intranet is contained entirely within the wiki, we don't need the extra /wiki/ in the URL. Does MediaWiki work okay installed in the site root folder? Oh, and of course, there is already content in the wiki...
