MediaWiki is back in testing, and even back in Debian stable, though
only version 1.27, released on 2016-06-28.
That being said, I have had to do some engine administration on
MediaWiki 1.27 since, and I should say it was fairly complicated to
configure it for a typical case (no anonymous access to any page
except viewing the homepage, confirmation required after
registration).
Probably not a significant cost for SPI, but the product may not be
that mature yet, or it really doesn't do much to serve needs other
than Wikimedia's.

Doesn't ikiwiki, which we are already using, have an online editing
plugin or some such ?
Yes, indeed.

I haven't edited any ikiwiki instance in many years, but apparently, strangely called "RecentChanges".
