After looking at it, they are clearly trying to induce confusion between their wiki offer, the gnu gpl software mediawiki, wikipedia, wiktionnary and wikiquote.
The text is a little bit confusing ("the new product" might sound like it's their product), but I see no reason for your "trying to induce" thing. And I really don't see any trademark violation here. Of course we have to defend our trademarks but we also should avoid trademark paranoia.
Well, a good first step would be mentioning that mediawiki is a registered trademark from another company, and clearly explaining that is a third party software that they did not develop.

As you say he actual text is confusing, which is exactly the criteria for trademark violations. I don't say we should hurry to the courts, but we should ask them to be more precise.
