Assuming you have access to the httpd.conf / apache2.conf, an apache
Alias directive will allow you to move the URL at which that mediawiki
appears at will; there doesn't have to be a slavish mapping between
the URL scheme and the directories on the server.

So you'd just say 

  Alias /wiki /test

(don't forget to restart apache to get it to reread the file).  Docs:
