The idea of this is that if I can do the sysadmin role on a local installation I can experiments safely away from the real one, and try to find working solutions, which can then be passed to those with admin rights on the kde server.
If you want something that can later on be replicated in another server, I would advise you to do the setup as close as possible to the way it is done on the other server, otherwise your findings might not be applicable to that setup...
Mediawiki stores pages in a mysql database, so replicating or moving to a different server will involve a database dump and load as the main operation. Attachments are stored somewhere as individual files, though.
