Well, the beauty of MediaWiki being free-and-open-source-software (FOSS) is
that you are actually *able to do it* and *allowed to do that*. If you cannot
do it yourself, you can always convince your work to hire someone to do it
for you, raise a bug bounty, etc. It may actually be cheaper than shelling
money for a proprietary solution which may turn out to have other bugs,
mis-features, missing features, etc. and that may be discontinued or not keep
up with the times.
For the record, I am now between jobs and am willing to contribute to
open-source (or non-open-source projects) for the right price. Other people
may also be available. I have a working knowledge of PHP and am familiar with
using MediaWiki as a user and to customise it. I'm sure that you can also
find other people who can do it.
