I installed MediaWiki but it doesn't seem to have

The built-in help feature is still under development - which is to say
firstly that the content of the Help:* pages themselves is under
development; but, more importantly, that there is currently no
automatic feature for importing them, or creating them on install.
There isn't even a way of saying "get the Help: pages now, please"
yet, I'm afraid.
Instead, you will just have to look at the master copy on "meta"
(
http://meta.wikimedia.org/Help:Contents) and/or copy and paste the
source of the pages you think you really really need into your own
wiki. Hopefully, someone will write a clever way of doing a
mass-import of these soon, but I have no idea what the value of "soon"
may be.
