2) Is it possible to use SSI in MW without it being
stripped out? I've tried commenting out the "removeHTMLcomments" function
in Sanitizer.php, but the HTML comment with the SSI in it still doesn't show up when I
view source on the wiki display page in my browser. Even if it did, since the page
doesn't have an shtml extension, I'm fairly sure it won't work.
Has anyone done this and can you talk a n00b through it?

No.
Implement whatever you want to get with a Server Side Include directly
in php, or via an extension.
Don't comment random mediawiki code. I wouldn't recommend commenting
Sanitizer code to mediawiki hackers unles they were really really sure
of what they were doing. Since you are new to MW, changing the code will
only lead you to problems later.
The only file you should ever have to edit is LocalSettings.php, and
installing extensions.
