Hello. I am having trouble setting up my own wiki. I have downloaded MediaWiki and when it was fully downloaded, it came with files like Vendors, images, skins, which I can't understand. Can someone at least create the wiki for me, or at least give me clear, basic instructions. I would like to create a wiki called Factpedia- the free encyclopedia. factpedia.org

For the start, please provide a link to the installation guide which you are following, and tell us at which exact sentence you are stuck and why. It's hard to help if nobody knows the problem. :)
For "can someone create the wiki for me", see Professional development and consulting.
I downloaded this version: mediawiki-134.0. It just comes in weird files that doesn't tell you to create a wiki.
The front page of https://www.mediawiki.org/ has links called "Download", "install" and "configure". Have you followed them? If yes, where exactly are you stuck?
you need to install php. The weird files are for php to read, which then shows you the wiki. You may want to find a tutorial on how php and web servers work.
