have you seen the customization that wikia.com has done? it is a step in the right direction for social integration.

It's possible, but it would be a little ugly. You could write a web frontend to what would basically be a proxy handling the work on the backend over the api. However, there is no secure way for a user to login through something like that, so all of the edits would have to come from your app and not the user. Alternatively, you could write a javascript (or flash) application, and get it approved to make CORS/crossdomain requests to the target MediaWiki api, so the user would be making api calls directly. Getting the wiki admin to approve domains, or add a crossdomain.xml file may or may not be a problem for you.
OAuth will make the delegated authorization easier, but unfortunately the priority for getting OAuth integrated with MediaWiki is lower than some other critical projects right now, so it will be a few months before this is possible.

Hi everyone!
Is it possible to use MediaWiki as a service whereas the UI is located on a Facebook app? So all the editing and viewing is take place on a Facebook and MediaWiki provide the storage, revision control and lots of extensions?
