 Neither of the two pages do answer Josip's nor Franklin's question on
what's the rationale for the proposal. There is a short list of
advantages that MediaWiki would have over twiki in the Engine page, but
almost all of them are available through usage of Moin already, so I
like to follow Franklin's reason for closing this bug. The
HelpMoveToMediaWiki page also lists many people that would like to help
to move away from kwiki/twiki so I'm not sure wether they are still all
that eager since the switch to Moin.

 So, agreeing with Franklin here, if you aren't able to bring up a
rationale for why you want to have the switch, this bug doesn't make
sense. With the same reasoning one could open a bugreport for switching
to ikiwiki. And to some degree I would even see the good in the
latter. :)

 So long,
Rhonda
