Yeah, finding info for beginners is hard. Don't be discouraged and ask your newbie questions here as needed. Plenty of people here would jump at the chance to answer questions especially easy questions. As far as sources for help, I always start with:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Installation http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents or search http://meta.wikimedia.org or search google with the word mediawiki and your topic (don't use wiki, as that will just return a million results) Ask questions here And heck if there is no where for newbies to get help, maybe you should make wiki site for newbies to wikimedia?

I think that we've all had to begin at the beginning. I know that I did. I also asked some very newbie questions in the beginning, and compared to other questions here, I still may. Don't let the "more advanced" questions some are asking put you off. Otherwise I may not be able to help anyone myself.
My suggestion is to do your reading and then ask your newbie questions here.
I agree with this completely; this list is for all third party users of MediaWiki; new and old alike.
