May be this will help.

You have the option of exporting it to html or odt and have it converted
to mediawiki. Open/Libre Office seems to be one uber converter and you can use
it to export to mediawiki (by hand) or through commandline (use
unoconv). If you are unhappy with unoconv, you can write some basic
macros and have a made-to-order commandline that exports html/odt to
mediawiki.
I am attaching test org file and the corresponding mediawiki export
(generated via the html backend). I am not sure how good the mediawiki
export is.

Btw, the attached test file has tables, both simple and complex.
On a related note, in all honesty,
1. I think that Org shouldn't support all backends in the world as part
of it's core. The previous statement equally applies to the org-odt
backend. It would suffice if Org provides a generic exporter and
people unhappy with existing converters or who have plenty of time in
hand (like me) can author standalone modules that is in tune with ORg
way of things and distribute it via GNU's ELPA.
2. I think Org should provide a way (out of the box) to post-process an
exported file to one of the "other" formats using an external
converter. LibreOffice, if not now, atleast in distant future would
become the One True Converter to rule the world.
Something like M-x org-export-as-other ....
