why not play with wikipedia.org a bit?  Look over their policies, 
procedures.  Correct some errors or a few articles.  Or go to 
conservapedia.org which is more sparse and do the same (probably not a 
model for editing policy or procedure).  Installation/configuration 
isn't really that hard.  I actually found that other than dealing with 
RHEL's PHP version issues that Mediawiki was one of the easiest pieces 
of sever side software that I configured/installed.   Probably more 
there is X and Y which you want it to do. 

   I doubt there is any training for mediawiki yet.  That would be a
   good suggestion for wikia (the commercial arm of wikipedia).  You
   might also jump in to the #mediawiki channel on IRC (irc.freenode.net).

   Lastly you might consider contacting Sergey at gt AT gettemplate.com. 
   He did most of our (buni.org) skinning/etc which was largely
   mediawiki/php based.  His rates are really good and electronic
   payment options nice.
