Neither: because WordPress is extensible enough to allow for this kind
of functionality.

WordPress uses query parameters.  A WordPress plugin that enables
OAuth, though, would have to register new URL handlers with WordPress
to act as the token and end-user authorization endpoints.  Having done
so, the plugin would then have complete control over how to behave
under any query parameters, entity-body contents, or headers: core,
extension, site specific or otherwise.

As evidence, I have written such plugins for OAuth 1.0a, OAuth WRAP,
and OAuth 2.0-draft-05.

I would be surprised if the story were different for MediaWiki and
Drupal; I naively believe a similar plugin could be developed for each
of those platforms that would avoid query parameter collision.
"Naively" because I am unfamiliar with both of those platforms.
