Some other folks have already pointed you in the right direction to
start - however, a simple comment - you say "you" must get data into the
Wiki. The power of the Wiki is getting broad data from a number of
users. If your just going to post data, you could just create a web page
searchable by Google. The wiki is powerful because of it's collaboration
ability, so you need to enlist a lot of users to help get you started.

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
