Hmm, ... Wikia has created the "DownloadYourData" extension [0]. Perhaps all what is needed is to port this to run with regular MediaWiki 1.27 and later, install it on your wiki and everything is hopefully fluffy again. However it appears to me that this only covers the topic of informing about personal information stored by MediaWiki itself. Moreover they regrettably do not specifiy a license so this one may be assumed a copyrighted extension.
