[Mediawiki-l] Beginner!!!

[Yost, Greg]

Hi,
 
What suggestions do you have for someone who has to set up a Wiki using
Mediawiki.  It has been installed by a tech guy but now I, as a
programmer, have to set it up, get it functioning and get data into it.
That is my assignment at work.
 
(Suggestions to find another job will not work!!!)
 
I have gotten permissions set up so I can edit LocalSettings.php (and I
don't know php either).
 
I know nothing about Wiki except looking stuff up in Wikipedia!!!
 
Thanks
