Okay, the word "basic" may be is presumptive and ambiguous.
So, make that "Any leads on a basic wiki setup-and-configure instruction manual that is accurate (complete, contemporaneous), and has installation checks and troubleshooting."
Yes, I'm familiar with http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation which is Linux only, and I'm familiar with http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki_on_Windows_XP_ -_MediaWiki_1.9.2 which is Windows and IIS not Windows and Apache, and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Simple_Windows_Apache_Installation for Windows and Apache, but seems not up to date and overly brief.
None of our shared MediaWiki resources have installation checks and troubleshooting.
We seem to be handling troubleshooting on a case by case bases as presented.
So that's why I asked:
"Any leads on a basic wiki setup-and-configure instruction manual?"
So far, the answer is "no", but if I have specific questions and problems to overcome trying to install MediaWiki, there seem to be many willing to chat.
Thanks.

I thought you had set it up already, why do you need more instructions?
Generally people ask specific questions such as how do I change the logo or how do it protect a specific page and they will get an answer or a link to an answer, I think your problem is you are asking a very vague question. By now you must have realised there isn't a complete set of instruction to your standards, rather specific articles on how to accomplish a specific task, perhaps you can try re-asking you question in this form?
