Mediawiki is indeed the most versatile platform, but that just means it's okay at most things. It doesn't mean it's better than other platforms explicitly designed for a particular job ;-)
Wordpress is a ridiculously better blog platform than MediaWiki will ever be.
I'd prefer self-hosting on general principle, but if our operations people say it's better and more stable hosted elsewhere - and presumably they have - then fair enough.
