mediawiki.org already exists, actually - and it's one of the
nicest-looking and most usable wikis around. Sadly though, a lot of
MediaWiki info is still on meta.

This gives rise to a problem I hate, which also happens on the WMF
wiki: one moment you're on mediawiki.org, you click a link, and
suddenly you're on a different website (meta). Eh?
