I'm sorry but I fail to see how this (from the
INSTALL instructions):
Decompress the MediaWiki installation archive
either on your server, or on your
local machine and upload the directory tree. Rename it from "mediawiki-1.x.x"
to
something nice, like "wiki", since it'll be in your URL.

is not clear enough about not using 'wiki' in case of URL-rewriting/Short URLs
into 'wiki', and about 'wiki' being just an *example* of naming ?

It was changed in
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/47298 to
Decompress the MediaWiki installation archive either
on your server, or on your
local machine and upload the directory tree. Rename it from "mediawiki-1.x.x"
to
something nice, like "wiki", since it will be appearing in your URL,
ie. /wiki/index.php/Article.

http://www.example.com/wiki/Article, you should put the |

| /wiki/ as the virtual article path where your articles pretend to be. |

Patches are welcome if that's still considered confusing.
