Sure. Some raw information can be found on
http://community.kde.org/KDE.org/mediawiki
Basically what we work with is plain upstream mediawiki install.
Reason is simple. To keep update procedures clean we do not intend to
hack the core code of it. So first thing you would need to do is just
installing mediawiki the usual way. We are in the process of updating
all 3 wikis to current mw1.17, so consider that the base version.
On top of that we have our skin(s). Those are custom and can be hacked
like you prefer. The one in use on userbase is "chihuahua", should be
used soon on techbase and community, too. See first link for the repo
url.
I don't think any of the used extensions can influence what you intend
to do, but if you are curious which ones we use, you can jump to
<wiki-url>/Special:Version to see the used ones along with their
version.

Hope that helps for the moment.

Cheerio,
Ingo
