For one thing, I'd say that mediawiki aims for a particular market
position.
Mediawiki is designed to support very large wikis, i.e. 3M pages
on one of the most trafficked web sites on Earth.
For a large-scale site, there's going to be a lot of administration
work to be done, so it doesn't matter if the system is difficult to set
up and configure.
Wordpress, on the other hand, set out with the mission of being
the 'cheap and cheerful' program that would dominate the market for
blogging software. Everything about Wordpress is designed to make it
easy to set up a Wordpress site quickly and configure it easily.
Wordpress does scale OK to fairly large blogs and high traffic if you
SuperCache it.
If you want a wiki that's easier to set up and administer, I'd
consider forking or starting out from scratch. (In the latter case you
get complete control of configuration management, which is key)
