One Click Install of MediaWiki Issues

First of call, I am very glad that DH is hosting wiki's. I have been a moinmoin user for a very long time and have installed it locally under my DH accounts.

Question: The one-click install does not install the standard help pages, templates etc into the database. So the standard "editing help" link will link to an empty page. This is a potential frustration point for new users. Can this be fixed?

This is because the standard MediaWiki distribution does not come with this documentation, which can be a hassle when you're running a site for people unfamiliar with wikis. I've searched around some and have been unable to find anyone offering just a dump of the help files and such for download.

You can copy the docs one page at a time from meta.wikimedia.org.
