I am going through the source code of Plinth now. actions > mediawiki
apperently assumes that LocalSettings.php is located at
'/var/lib/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php', which is where I have the broken link
to /etc. So where is this file supposed to be generated? Already in the dpkg
of mediawiki? In that case, something must have gone wrong there. Any ideas
how to further investigate this issue?
I'd loved to have a wiki on my box.

/etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php is generated by mediawiki's install.php script,
which is triggered by plinth's mediawiki setup action. But it's only run if
/var/lib/mediawiki-db/my_wiki.sqlite does not already exist.
I was able to re-generate /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php with these steps:
$ sudo mv /var/lib/mediawiki-db/my_wiki.sqlite
/var/lib/mediawiki-db/my_wiki.sqlite.backup
$ sudo /usr/share/plinth/actions/mediawiki setup

James
