Look at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family.  This will 
give you several options.

Personally, I prefer multiple wikis with each having its own prefix.  I 
also created a "pool" or common wiki to share images and files between 
the other wikis.

I've used symbolic links to avoid having multiple copies of the MW code.

Consider using shared tables for things like the user tables if it is 
reasonable to assume that those who register with one wiki are likely to 
register with the other.
