I'm interested in MediaWiki running with Oracle and after searching through the archives it appears there was an attempt back around version 1.5 - 1.6 but nothing since then. Is there a plan to support Oracle in the future or has it be put on the shelf?
I don't think there's an official effort. From time to time, people whinge about it, and our lead developer invites them or their organisation to contact him if interested in helping out, but nothing happens.
This isn't unusual; it took a good deal of time for us to get decent PostgreSQL support.
The WikiMatrix (http://www.wikimatrix.org/) reports MediaWiki supports Oracle. I guess that is incorrect at this time?
Yes. I wouldn't trust services that don't seem to verify or update information, myself...
