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.
