Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since
this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work,
I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.
Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

Quoting the /usr/share/doc/python-moinmoin/install.html :

Run MoinMoin

MoinMoin is written using the Python programming language so you need to
start it using the python interpreter:

$ cd moin-x.x.x
$ python wikiserver.py
(you will see the log output of the running MoinMoin server here)

After MoinMoin has started, it will show some log output in your
terminal window. Within that logging output, it will also announce on
which IP address and port the server runs (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8080).

Now just leave that terminal window as it is and the builtin web server
of MoinMoin will work as long as you don't stop it.

You can stop the server by closing that terminal window or by pressing
Ctrl-C to interrupt it.

/end quote/

If downloading and installing moinmoin from the website, untar places
all files in the same directory. Ubuntu or Debian repackages the file
and splits it up. The above instructions will only work if the package
is downloaded directly from http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinDownload . Further,
Ubuntu provides /usr/share/doc/python-moinmoin/examples/wikiserver-
init.sh , a script to setup the standalone wiki. Unfortunately, this
script attempts to use /usr/share/doc/python-minimal/examples/desktop-
editing/ which is also a non-existant directory.
