Assuming you mean accessing a public MediaWiki instance with your web
browser protected by Tor, you shouldn't need to do anything special -- only
the outermost IP address in the onion stack will be exposed to MediaWiki;
the tor system is designed to make it hard to figure out your originating
IP.

Note that some installations may have filters enabled to block use of known
Tor outgoing nodes (such as Wikimedia sites) due to issues with abuse and
vandalism.
