I'm not fully sure I would call mediawiki a good example. ;) 

There's:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Web_Applications

and to expand on that, you should have the vast majority of the files
in /usr/share/ and only those files that are config or otherwise change
be in /etc and linked to the share versions. 

Wordpress might be another example.
