I was going to say, MediaWiki isn't really built for individual 
websites. It says on the site, "The program is primarily developed to 
run on a large server farm for Wikipedia and its sister projects. 
Features, performance, configurability, ease-of-use, etc are designed in 
this light; if your needs are radically different the software might not 
be appropriate for you."

Ask yourselves, do you need all the functionality that Mediawiki offers?
