A quick tip: If you like to test and use BlueSpíce for MediaWiki instantly, install it for free as a ready-to-use virtual machine image for VMware, VirtualBox or KVM via Univention's App Catalog. This image contains the app itself and a UCS runtime environment. Apart from being quickly installed and free, you also get regular updates for the whole stack.

This turns MediaWiki into MediaWiki on steroids. In other words, if you add BlueSpice to regular MediaWiki and stand them next to each other, it's like looking at a U.S. Army Cook (regular MediaWiki) and a U.S. Marine Force Recon squad leader or Scout/Sniper (BlueSpice).
