+One big issue is that Mediawiki markup sucks rocks. It doesn't have any concept of blocks; it would be like converting the wiki back to old markup. I don't know how well Mediawiki is designed internally, but the markup used is a very big deal, and Mediawiki rides the short bus as far as that is concerned.
+
+Personally, I'd suggest taking a look at [MoinMoin | http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/FrontPage] instead. Check out the [GNOME Live!|http://live.gnome.org] for an example of a decently busy and relatively large wiki running ~MoinMoin. The ~MoinMoin formatter doesn't seem to understand blocks either, but at least it uses indentation and remembers context across linebreaks in enough cases that it can be considered sane enough. And the wiki engine comes with a few neato features.
+
+Also, it's [Python], which will please PerryLorier :) and is better than [PHP] anyway.
