No, that would be a very bad solution. It would require that everyone who works on MediaWiki has to learn that domain-specific language, which would result in less people being able to work on MediaWiki.
This is not inherently different from people having to learn what MediaWiki classes and so on do. If it's a well-designed language, it will be as easy for people to pick up as alternative ways of writing the same info.
The first step absolutely must be to look at what other open-source products in our situation are doing, though. If we can take the entire system wholesale from phpBB, say, then there's no reason for us to reinvent the wheel.
