Hello
If I setup a test system in say /test and later want to make it public and move it to the root directory, is it just a matter of editing the config file after moving the files or is there more than needs to be done?

Assuming you have access to the httpd.conf / apache2.conf, an apache Alias directive will allow you to move the URL at which that mediawiki appears at will; there doesn't have to be a slavish mapping between the URL scheme and the directories on the server.
So you'd just say
Alias /wiki /test
(don't forget to restart apache to get it to reread the file). Docs:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_alias.html

Change the paths in LocalSettings.php, and either clear the objectcache table or set $wgCacheEpoch to a recent time to clear out the parser cache.
