In the past, I have used a plugin for OpenOffice that exports to MediaWiki. It has been a couple years since I used it. As I look now, I see that LibreOffice has built this function into the core software (see the "Wiki Publisher" item on this page: http://www.libreoffice.org/features/extensions/ ) I would guess, but am not certain, that this is an update of the same basic feature. I believe this means that if you use a recent version of LibreOffice, you can simply choose "export" and then "MediaWiki" to export a text document; or if you prefer, you can link it to your MediaWiki site so it will publish directly.
My memory of this feature is that it works well, but is in many cases more "chatty" than would be desirable: it inserts far more tags than one would like, specifying things like font, font color, font size, precise width of columns in tables, etc. My solution was to run a series of Regular Expressions on the output, but it was an annoyance to have to do so. I hope this helps; please report back on what you find, I would be interested in how this feature has evolved.
