MediaWiki? You've got to be kidding. A database is by no means a
requirement for such a thing as emacswiki (or most wiki's for that
matter).

Oddmuse works really quite well and it's text formatting is much nicer
than that of MediaWiki in my opinion.

You of course are free to do what you like, but for the love of all
things good and nice, please choose some other wiki (almost any other
wiki) than MediaWiki.
