Thanks for the link :-) The package was removed because it was severely
out of date, using a version that has known security issues, and no
active maintainers to update it. I've asked on the
Pkg-mediawiki-devel[2] list if anyone else is interested in helping out.

The new package is based on the old one, however it was extremely old
that a lot of it was either removed or replaced (no-longer needed
patches, references to apache-ssl, etc.).

I've skimmed through the closed bugs, will take a closer look at them
shortly.
