Hi,
MediaWiki has a great support system and a simplistic forum. But newcomers and old hands alike would have lots of similar questions about the system, installation issues, or other questions that could be answered quickly if there was a better system for it.
We all know the concept of forums, but StackExchange (remember StackOverflow? or MathOverflow?) have started a new system where questions can be asked, found, answered and sorted very effectively, and its even better than Yahoo Answers.
The results are fast and accurate. Great users get reputation, and hence more rights. The system has really been a success and with a little bit of YOUR help, we could have a StackExchange dedicated to MediaWiki and your wiki questions!
