I'm currently running 4 wikis from the same core code on Mediawiki 1.26.0 on Ubuntu 14.04.
The mediawiki code is in /var/lib/mediawiki and includes everything except for /images folder and LocalSettings.php It is from this directory that I set up all the wikis (via mw-config page). All of the wikis have their own folder in /etc/mediawiki (e.g., /etc/mediawiki/chemwiki). In each of those folders, all wiki files/folders are linked to those in /var/lib/mediawiki EXCEPT for /images and LocalSettings.php (I also have separate logo.png file here, too). Finally, in my /var/www/html, I have each wiki's folder (e.g., /var/www/html/chemwiki) linked to its /etc/mediawiki/ folder I don't know if this is the best way to go about the process, but it works well for me. Pro: If you want to install a new extension, it only needs to be placed in /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions Con: Anytime you want to update an individual wiki, you need to move its LocalSettings.php file to /var/lib/mediawiki in order to run /var/lib/mediawiki/maintenance/update.php Hope that's somewhat helpful ...
