I think this is rather universal (not machine-dependent):
on http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/ the mediawiki-export
http://lumiere.ens.fr/~guerry/u/org-mediawiki.el is described. I had a
look in the git and the EXPERIMENTAL-folder is no longer there. I found
org-export.el in contrib/lisp. Tried to roll the git back to the last
revision that has org-mediawiki.el extracted it and tried to use it in
my current installation. That failed (I'm not surprised)

May question: Is the support for Mediawiki-export abandoned?

If yes: I'd suggest to remove the reference to it from
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/

If no: how can it be run (maybe the description in
http://lumiere.ens.fr/~guerry/u/org-mediawiki.el could be updated)

For now, yes.  

But I think it would be a nice format to export to.

Using Pandoc for export to EPub and Mediawiki Re: Bug: Status of the org-mediawiki.el [7.8.11]

Just one question: does this HAVE to be implemented in org-mode/elisp
itself? I just stumbled on Pandoc
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html which can export from
several markup-languages to for instance MediaWiki (what I think is
weird is that it accepts org-mode as an output, but not as an input). So
one "only" has to write  an org-reader and get the project to accept it
and then there would be a number of output-formats (including ePub which
would be VERY cool) available for "free" (some duplicate existing formats).

I know that the "only" part is the hard thing. But there seems to be
somebody working on this already https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/476

If nobody is actively working on these export filters (Mediawiki) then
maybe "outsourcing" this conversion to pandoc and "only" integrating the
call into the "export menu" would be an interesting way to go

Yes.  If you can motivate someone either from this list or from Pandoc
community to write an Org mode reader, that'd be nice.  Even when we
finally have a mediawiki exporter.

Best,

For a quick work around, Pandoc can read in HTML, so perhaps you can export
org to HTML and then process it with Pandoc.
You can even use the following script so you can pipe it from the command
line.

#!/usr/bin/emacs --script
;read stdin into a temp buffer
;go into org-mode
;output the buffer as a string and pipe to stdout
(with-temp-buffer
  (progn
    (condition-case nil
    (let (line)
      (while (setq line (read-from-minibuffer ""))
        (insert line)
        (insert "\n")))
      (error nil))
    (org-mode)
    (princ (org-export-as-html nil nil nil 'string))
    ))
