This is not a bug.
The dependency line is "apache2 | httpd" because mediawiki cannot depend
solely on a virtual package, and apache2 is the most comprehensive
candidate for installation.
nginx provides httpd, so you can install mediawiki from the repositories
without including apache2.
Your problem is that mediawiki depends on php5, which depends on
libapache2-mod-php5 | libapache2-mod-php5filter | php5-cgi. The resolver
tries to install the first one of these, which causes a dependency on
apache2.
Solution: ensure nginx and php5-cgi are fully installed and configured,
and then install mediawiki from the official repositories.
** Changed in: mediawiki (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
