Err! One can download and install the MediaWiki software on a website 
without allowing the world, and his dog, cat, and their fleas to edit 
the pages. IIRC one gets the option of turning off unregistered user 
updates, and autoregistration during the install. It even comes with a 
little a "powered by MediaWiki" logo.

OTOH the site whined about has no reference to WMF at all.
