That seems wrong. Of the two, MediaWiki.org is clearly the more successful wiki. It is larger by all measures, and draws a wide pool of active contributors.
I don't know that it's appropriate to put WMF-only stuff on the MediaWiki site. Of course, I'm not totally convinced merging the other way is a good idea other. Although there's overlap between MW proper and the WMF tech, we have to remember they're distinct.
I know some of WMF-specific stuff would still be useful to others trying to do similar - things like server setup, installation issues, configuration and good practices and whatnot comes to mind. Having examples of what others have done - mostly Wikimedia and ShoutWiki in my case - proved invaluable when I was setting up my own wikifamily-like thing, at least, but they weren't exactly easy to find.
Wikimedia's configuration isn't specified on MediaWiki.org. It's on wikitech already. The docs you are referring to are non-wikimedia configuration examples provided by MediaWiki users, and that stuff will stay there.

That was my point, actually - I had to go out and find it elsewhere as none of what I used was on mw.org, but it would have been nice if it were.
