As someone who runs both, uses Moin personally, and has even written his
won Python wiki, I can promise you that MoinMoin is not simpler to
setup. :)

Mediawiki is more widespread and familiar -- if only because its used by
Wikipedia.

The reason to use Moin is because it's Python is because its the best
Python wiki out there. The only people I know who use it had a Python
implementation as one of their criteria when choosing a wiki. Mediawiki
is easier and more familiar to more people.

That said, I would totally support moving to either.
