The Android team uses README.mediawiki but it's just a link[0] to a wiki.
It seemed appropriate to use a wiki for an app called "Wikipedia".

I noticed two conventions for the extension of
wikitext files in git:
.mediawiki and .wiki, e.g. tests/browser/README.mediawiki and
extensions/Wikibase/docs/lua.wiki. GitHub will render both kinds as
MediaWiki wikitext (of course it only implements a subset); it seems
Phabricator doesn't recognize either extension. I think we should be
consistent. .mediawiki is more precise (it's not MoinMoin or IkeWiki
markup) while .wiki is shorter. Maybe there are other arguments for one
extension over the other.
If both "README" and "README.mediawiki" were present I'd tend to
think
that this is some imported piece of software and README is the upstream
README file and README.mediawiki contains MW-specific bits (like
import/upstreaming instructions, whatever). Something we might start
to see in vendor/ eventually.
I avoid extensions for text files without source code at all,
but maybe because I don't use Windows a lot.
Somehow funny we cannot use our own markup where we need to :)
