I am equally surprised that this hasn't come up, yet, but I don't recall
seeing any feature requests around MediaWiki integration beyond the Eclipse
help support.
We do have a wiki editor implementation that I believe is based on WikiText
in the Mylyn Incubator but it only supports Trac's built-in wiki. While we
don't have plans to extend that at the moment providing connectors for Wikis
wouldn't necessarily be out of scope of the Mylyn Docs project. We would
need strong community support though to drive that effort. Any takers :)?

The editor is not a problem. WikiText UI provides a very good one, with source and preview tabs.
Source (with outline view):
Preview:
I am also interested in having more complex WikiText projects. I think there is no WikiText project nature for the moment.
It could be useful, to check out wiki pages from GitHub or from Eclipse labs (in the second case, the google language is not supported yet: see bug 291239).
A connector to the MediaWiki instance could also be a good idea. I am not sure if the MediaWiki instance can be used as Source Provider (Team Perspective and Repository Perspective)
I never took time to have a look at the project, but I have seen that XWiki has implemented an Eclipse Integration: XWiki Eclipse
A MediaWiki connector must define "how" the media wiki content should be check-out.
In bug 380082 there is a proposition for this:
* First-level is the Namespace (Article, Image, Template, ...).
* Next levels reproduce the MediaWiki structure (Eclipsepedia in this case).
(The bug is about the images preview that do not work with a such structure).
This is an interessant topic. Pieces needs to be put together. There is a lot of potential.
