There are three possibilities when you talk about multiple wikis in one 
database:

1. One database, multiple database prefixes, one code tree
2. One database, multiple database prefixes, multiple code trees
3. One database, one database prefix (all wikis literally share the same 
tables), any number of code trees (one or multiple)

The poster is asking about case #3.  Doing this with one code tree plus "GUI 
changes per hostname" is easy.  If you have 3
code trees, when you upgrade MediaWiki, do you do three upgrades or one? When 
you run maintenance/update.php, which wiki do you run it from? You avoid these 
issues with one code tree and changing the skin by hostname.
